work wants my marriage certificate

trailingspouse

Do they actually know that you aren't intending to change your name?

If you've hardly mentioned that you were even getting married, I'm guessing that you haven't gone in to this level of detail with them. They may just be assuming that you'll be changing your name and therefore that they need to see the cert.

Why make things harder than they need to be? Talk to them!!

You know you get a certificate so that you can use it to prove that you're married - it's intended to be seen.

Ask your employer, and take a photocopy of your marriage certificate with you. Do you have a printer with a scanner function? If not, a local library will usually allow you to make a photocapy for a small charge.

If less than two years, dance on the table naked, or pack up your things? - Well that would be a crime, IE sexual harassment. This isn't.

Just because protections are limited in the first 103 weeks of service, doesn't mean they are non-existent, and neither employment legislation nor employment contracts override article 8. - They don't need to give a reason. Simply, 'here's your notice, bye' But naturally the employer would use the threat of dismissal and bring upon themselves the cost of recruiting a replacement and the inherent productivity reduction while the replacement familiarizes themselves with the role, just to get what they want and not back down, rather than give a proper explanation which would take five minutes and cost them nothing. Because it is sound business sense to cut off your nose to spite your face. - You don't know and neither do I. I was simply pointing out that the possibility of it

Never apologise, never explain, rule with a rod of iron .... and wonder why you can't keep hold of decent staff as they all see what you for what you are and move on to better jobs.

The point is to pick your battles!

I just won the bet with myself, that Comms69 would not be able to leave this topic alone and would have to come back for the last word. So completely not surprised :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl::T

If you think an employer is always safe from an employment tribunal claim after dismissing an employee in the first two years of qualifying service, then you really need to do some reading,

I thought we were having a discussion, not after the last word.


It depends if the employer is daft enough to give a reason.


e.g.: I don't like your tie, here's your notice - perfectly legit
you're pregnant, here's your notice - unlawful discrimination, leading to a claim of unlawful dismissal.

FWIW we only need to have a copy of the marriage licence at work regarding change of name for bank access or credit cards so its rare to need it.
OP i would ask why they need it & take it from there- it might be something nice like they could give you some leave for honeymoon! it doesnt have to be a big deal..

I have had to supply birth and marriage cert to a former employer for 2 reasons relating to a pension I still held with them (from 20 years ago).
They never asked for it when I actually worked there.
1. they had opened 1 or the 3 pensions I had while I worked there in my nickname rather than my full given name so it was causing issues now I wanted to transfer it elsewhere
2. I wanted to transfer it and they needed the originals (not certified copies) confirming my ID before they would action the transfer
I would rather have given them the documents at the time than had to risk them in the post.
