Permie to Contract

[SueEllen]

If you're ever bored, and a bit short of cash, try raising unfair "constructive" dismissal cases against them.

It's actually wrongful dissmissal you mean. http://www.compactlaw.co.uk/monster/empf15.html

Unfair dimissal only occurs when the person has been employed for a year.

Haven't you got any holiday accrued that you could take as part of your notice period? If you've been there 6 months you should have a couple of weeks minimum.

Tell your boss you'll work the week - less holidays!

Thanks for all the help guys.

No, Dont have any holiday's accrued.

Will keep you all in loop with the next development

Have you a contract to move straight onto?

If so, have you talked dates? If not, what are your plans for getting work?

Thinking about the need to get 3 months money salted away and all of that to keep the wolf from the door……

If looking, post your location and what sort of work you are after – you never know your luck

Yes, I have discussed dates with an agent now.

Secondly, if they have refused to take you out of probation, what makes you think they will provide you with a glowing reference if you work a months notice anyway?

Tell him he has his week and you will see him in court with a libel case if he gives you a bad reference for observing the terms of your contract.

True.

[bullseye]

Words from you guys really helped.

ok now latest updates.

I would working not more than a week. My boss also agreed to give the references.

Thanks

Constructive dismissal
If you feel that you are being forced out of your job or your employer is acting in such a way that you have no option other than to leave, you may be able to bring a claim of constructive dismissal. Constructive dismissal is where you, as the employee, resign because of an action by your employer which makes you believe that it is impossible for you to carry on working.

Nah, they were all constructive.

but you have to have the qualifying period for an unfair dismissal, as otherwise yoiu have no claim for compensation. (and this is not the only reason why this suggestion is not going to work)

Which is why the dismissal is "wrongful" rather than "unfair".

I never said it was not "constructive"
