    Are you seriously this stupid or are you just trolling?

    So what if your an employee or a worker, don't you understand your employer WILL NOT NEED TO DISMISS YOU.

    They will simply keep you on their books and OFFER YOU ZERO HOURS OF WORK as per your contract. You will have no work, get no pay but you can't sue them because they havnt dismissed you!.

    You can't sue them for offering you the amount of hours in your contract (ZERO). If anyone tells you otherwise they are just as stupid as you!.


    Yes, but that means I can go in use their facilities do what I want, come and go use their books and unless they fire me- which means I can sue them then they can't stop me.

    Going to attempt explaining this one last time. I'll try to use short words. You can't sue them. Full stop.

    No you can't do any of that!. They can legally prevent anyone from accessing their premises if they want to employee or not. If you then attempt to go there it will be trespassing and they can call the police.

    The only thing they legally have to do is pay you for your contracted hours, which is zero.

    I'm surprised they have kept you on for so long you seem like a right idiot.

    Perhaps they're smarter in French?
