You can ask for written reasons for dismissal, but there is no legal obligation to provide it with less than one years service.

Are they expecting you to work your notice or are they paying it in lieu? You are also entitled to any accrued, untaken annual leave.QUOTE]

He has given me a months notice and said that he wouldn't ask me to work it, told me to take it off and ill still get paid and i also have 1 weeks holiday to get paid for,

Only thing that worries me is that i get paid next week, so come the following month, what happens if i get paid nothing then when i call up, i am told you didn't work your notice or some rubbish like that,

Thats why i was thinking about getting it in writing so i actually get paid next month.

Just really angry at the way it has happened, and even boss saying that he'll help me find another job and help with ref etc, ill be fine for another job, its just very frustrating the way they treat people.

Yes by all means ask for it in writing just to cover yourself. Unfortunately yes it can be done like that re just let go, I was let go myself a year ago next month, was out of the blue for something that no 1 had spoken to me about.

Yes, so that you can claim JSA.

Thinking more along the lines of getting my next months pay, as if i am given a months notice (which he has told me not to work but will get paid for it)

I dont want to come to next month and have no wages in the bank

Both to be honest as you have to prove you were terminted and not walked out. Better to have the letter than for the Job Centre to write to them & that will take time etc

Thanks, the thing that is annoying me is he kept on saying we are not sacking you or terminating you're contract, just giving you a months notice!

Karma!

I know of an employer who nearly always got rid of staff before they got their year's service in order that they didn't get employment rights. Maybe now he will keep them nearly two years before giving them the boot! He even wouldn't let new staff have any holiday entitlement as he said they were on "trial" for the first three months. Bad employer.

OP sorry to here what's happened but you have been given a months notice so use that time to find another job.

Things happen for a reason and perhaps it is just your time to move on.

Good luck

I find this the weirdest thing, it just doesn't make sense! Does he believe his own nonsense?!?

I think sometimes employers will say this when it's more of a case that they simply feel things just "aren't working out" and they wish you well and will provide you with a reference.

I agree he could have worded it better, but there can be a difference between being "let go" and "sacked", so to speak.

people should know better, but some managers think that a sacking or termination is not a sacking and only use the term sacking when it is because of misconduct. They are usually old school and use the terms giving you notice or letting go as opposed to terminating. it is not worth arguing about terminology. Be the bigger man, say you accept the circumstances and that you sympathise with the company position (even if you don't ), also say you will be looking for a good reference based on your performance overall (not the quiet months). Then take your money, sign on the first opportunity you can and get your cv in order for the next job. Also consider signing on with a recruitment agency specialising in hospitality something like xpress recruitment
