5 oclock monday then informed its now a on call so can be out till all hours ( i started work at 6pm till 6 am) told manger that it wasnt easy accomadated but he got through work finished at 9pm
While out youngest fell hurt himself didnt seem like much but in morning was really swollen thought it may be broken
Hubby calls work says may be late in as kid going to hospital he wasnt ment to start till 10am

Nothing more was said untill today when told he had been using company vehicle out off hours gross misconduct !! no he has been there 2 1/2 years and always used vehicle never been mentioned before

What does his contract say about personal use? Is his tax code adjusted to reflect this?

worriedmom1

contract says no personnal use .
But a sub paragraph goes on to say personnal use may be charged at an applicable fuel rate per mile

Italics I would suggest are subjective, bold on the other hand I would suggest means don't use it for personal reasons.

But I would think about seeking legal advice on this one!

Thanks bluenoseam legal advice would be good but i think that he will be sacked tomorrow
i was hoping there was something else he could say tomorrow

There is a difference between him just flouting company policy and taking company vehicles for personal use, and specifically being told they could do this. Why and how did your husband start taking the vehicle in the first place?

Maybe if you are going to be picky, you should ensure your spelling and grammar are perfect too!
