Instead of demanding, wouldn't it be better to ask? You might find that your employers react better to a request than to a demand.0

The Freedom of Information Act only applies to information held by the government and public bodies, not private companies.0 -

No.
What you are referring to is a Subject Access Request under the Data Protection Act. As SueC says, FOI relates to more general information from public bodies only.
And it is not quite "any" information although most / all of what the OP is after should be available.PLEASE NOTE:

No, because it's down to the length of service rather than the duration of the contract.
As of today, the 4th July 2012, you have been employed less than one year.
Sorry.0 -

Sorry.
But by the 13 of July (which he has been told will be his last day) he WILL have over a year's service!
For the purpose of qualifying to bring an unfair dismissal claim one week's statutory notice is counted so the firm needs to issue notice before the 51st week is up.PLEASE NOTE:
