1. Yep!

2. Indeed. I am fully aware of what you say, however I was being deliberately informal. I will be even more informal... I dunno about others but I find to keep saying "you" all the time can come across to a reader as being a bit aggressive as if pointing the finger at them all the time in a "you" "you" "you" finger pointing exercise and I deliberately tend to use a rather less formal and (intended to be) a more friendly "yourself" ....even though I do indeed realise that in business or within a formal document, correspondence, etc it would be "you" (he said with his finger pointed )

3. It would surprise you who my dissertation tutor was, he is rather famous having appeared in the highest courts in the land and he has acted for parties in a number of well known high profile cases which keep coming up in precedent case law, quite an incredible man.

4. Yep! Indeed.

5. Gee, thanks, you're too kind.

6. Well thanks for the 'heads up'. :cool:

1. Do you do everything in a recipe style?

2. Do you realise that language has impact?

3. Do you realise that poor grammar creates an impression, and can give/take away credibility?

4. Do you respond to everything with at least 6 points?

5. Do you often find yourself (see how it can be used?) digging yourself into entrenched positions?

6. Do you know how an employment contract differs from a contract for services?

7. Do you know how the terms of an employment contract can be varied?

8. Do you know the difference between different areas of the law?

9. Do you know how limiting this style is?

10. Do you bite every time?

:cool:

Flying Tiger, i'd shut up now if i were you. You're coming across as very childish. Just accept that your contributions to posts might sometimes be questioned, as will other peoples.

By the way, OP stands for Original Post. It's not difficult. Anything else you don't understand, just ask.

I love it when SarlEL gets in an arguement, great viewing. I'd hate to get into an arguement with her.

Definately the brief to have on your side.

Findlay31 something to check is your Working Rule Agreement which I assume is the CIJC one. This will obviously give you minimum rates for such as working rates for your trade for different skill levels/grades, etc, as well as for such as travelling time, radius allowances, and the like.

You also mentioned that you are in the UCATT union. Have you tried contacting them?

The undernoted is as quoted from the UCATT website:

Employment Law Advice Line

For advice and information on all legal matters arising from inside and outside your workplace please phone:

Best of luck

I have nothing to to add to what I have already said to the OP except to point out that overnight "Flying Tiger" with a post count in the 30's has become "FlyingTiger" with no post count. It is rare indeed that repports about abusive posts result in anything more than the offending posts being removed by the forum team - in this case every post has been removed. Unusual. And the person concerned has had to get themselves a new and similar user id - so banned by the team?

OP I tell you again, the advice you have been given above does not conform to the application of employment law and employment contracts, nor to the realisties of tribunal judgements. It may be what you want to hear, but if your friend follows it them they are headed for trouble. FT does not appreciate nor understand how easy it is for an employer to vary contractual conditions, and prfers to mislead by dressing up palatable advice in jibes and side-swipes at others to make himeself appear cleverer. That doesn't make a clever argument or a correct argument. Just as implying that I am siding with the employer, does not make it true - I do not have to agree with what an employer does for what they do to conform to the law.
