    Contact the Ministry of Fairness. They’ll send in a team who’ll seize and examine the records related to the recruitment exercise and interview those involved. If sufficient evidence of unfairness is discovered you’ll get an apology, a permanent contract with backdated benefits, a ‘Let’s Make it Fair!’ tshirt and mug, and those guilty of unfairness will be sent on a Fairness Awareness course.
    Another vote for this. Thanks for the idea - I'll use it at work!

    OP, I'm not seeing anything unfair in law here. Nobody is entitled to a job. But your "hypothetical" situation is making it impossible to work out any advice. Tell us exactly what is happening and start with how long you have worked for the employer. And stop being coy - this is either a real situation or an essay!

    Do the described events breach the employers hypoithetical recruitment policy?

    Shortcrust, could you please post a link to the Ministry of Fairness as I am interested in purchasing a mug and a tee shirt? Thanks. I might also consider a Fairness Awareness course if the price is, well, fair. :beer:

    ETA: Got it!

    You've forgotten to say that applicants will also need a note from their mum...

    Ok I admit it. I did have to look up Foula and Bryher. I suspected what the answer would be, but I'd never heard of either!

    As did I, Sangie595, or OH did; I was overthinking the whole thing. By means fair or Foula, for instance; Bryher being on the Isles of S(c)illy. Good one, Owain.
