a few worries i have.

the "cannot be under offer of another job whilst signing this agreement" i am not exstatic about.




Okay, we need to back track a bit as I am confused.

If the bit in red didn't happen, where did your comment about the clause "cannot be under offer of another job whilst signing this agreement" come from?

i researched CA's and read what the standard clauses are back when i submitted my offer of CA - i had 2 interviews pending and didnt want to be caught out if the had've accepted it.

it was before i found you lovely people and i was a backseat legal.

my CA was in my grievance letter.

So when you submitted your grievance, you offered to leave under a compromise agreement and enclosed a copy of a compromise agreement for them to consider?

kelly_borntoshop

no agreements or clauses have been shownto either party yet.

i said i felt i was being pushed out and said i may consider resigning for £9000 or i could take them to tribunal on the grounds of discrimination (words came from acas, figure came from me but hey, i didnt have a clue! its 6 months wages - yes i'm an idiot i know)

when told to offer them a sum by acas i had no clue how much to go for - so i looked it up and found CA's, clauses etc.

at the Drs in 20mins, see if he thinks i need happy pills i refused them last week - then got to go collect the kids so back in a bit.

sorry to cause confusion.

AARRGGHHHHH!!!!! I wish you had told us that you had already started negotiations about leaving on a compromise agreement. That puts a completely different slant on it. Oh well, never mind, it's done now.

Well there isn't any point in objecting to clauses that don't yet exist. Or in putting ideas into their heads. There is no such thing as a standard compromise agreement, so you can't know what will be in it until you have seen it, or at least been told what they want to put in it. That is up to the company and their solicitor.

It is highly unlikely that FM has a CA in his top drawer that he can drop off on his way home, as he would have given you a copy to take away if that were the case. He is unlikely to have that authority, it is the sort of thing that CD or MD would deal with.

Okay, well I am going to change the letter as it doesn't make any sense now, but it will be later tonight or possibly tomorrow.

Before I do anything else - have you discussed the issue of a reference with them at all - apart from saying that you want the CA to include a reference?

I knew this was going to be part wind-up.

Yeah... little bit of change from what it was yesterday of them forcing stuff on you... Kelly, all the best but I am out.

You may be right.

I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt, for the moment. If for no other reason than that other people with similar problems at work may be reading the thread....

What, someone who committed gross misconduct who cries discrimination at the drop of a hat and strings some HR professionals along for the ride? Yeah, you may be right.

She's certainly time managing you ok!

Indeed!!

Not often I disagree with you! I suspect you were more diligent than many of your profession! I have seen plenty from "professionals" that are so obviously a bad copy and paste job or lifted straight from the net and given five mins work by a junior!

Before I do anything else - have you discussed the issue of a reference with them at all - apart from saying that you want the CA to include a reference?

Or anything else we should know about?
