I was unfairly dismissed, and dismissed again

The reason I brought it to the attention of the CEO was because, when I got transferred, all the times when I clocked in to work went missing. and because they went missing, the manager told me that theres no proof, I worked the hours I claimed to work. I contacted the CEO if it was possible if there was copies avaiable for the data. I didn't accuse my manager or anyone
You don't contact the CEO for something so trivial, it was inevitable that would wind up a lot of people and mark you out as a problem employee.
Take your notice pay and walk away. Think of this as a lesson in how not to act in future.0 -

Are you familiar with the phrase "to win the battle but lose the war?" That's what you have done. You won a battle over pay, but lost your job.0

What exactly do you want to happen? Do you think they will give you a job after all this? I'd spend my energies on finding better (or any) employment, you've not be treated fairly but it sounds like you are better off moving on with this.
Maybe MCOL for outstanding monies.0 -
It doesn't sound a nice place to work, so I would say not worth pursuing it more than you already have.
Basically if you're more intelligent than your managers (not hard, in most companies) you'll always be seen as a "nightmare employee", and your life as an employee as a consequence will rarely be a comfortable or happy one.0 -
Don't understand why you would contact the CEO about something f like this. Surely if you have an issue with your manager you'd take it to their manager?0

Most intelligent people go through their working lives with few problems. Intelligence is not the issue here, it's a complete lack of common sense.0 -
You have no employment rights to speak of, you'll waste £1200 finding that out.
MCOL for any outstanding pay, that's it.
And a fixed term contract can be ended in first two years by its definition.
I'm a FTC employee, but into my third year now, I've researched it0 -
I expect they have a policy regarding raising grievances and by contacting the CEO directly you've failed to follow the company's procedures and has such failed the terms of your contract.0

Sorry to hear about your situation. Here are answers to your questions:
If you are still owed any outstanding pay, I suggest sending polite email to your manager or the HR department setting out what you think you are owed and asking for payment.1. How do I go about with this
As you have less than 2 years service an employer can dismiss you at any time by giving one week's notice (unless a longer notice period is stated in your employment contract).2. Are there any laws that protect me from this?
3. Can she use personal vendetta to get rid of me
I'd say your chances are pretty much zero. The employer does not have to follow any procedure to dismiss you if you have less than 2 years service.4. If all else fails, what are the chances I will win an employment tribunal case for the manager failing to follow procedure? As the procedure forms part of my contract, has she breached my employment contract?0
