Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can help me with this as I want to know if i have any rights.
My contract was cancelled 2 weeks before the end. I tookk a rate drop and stupidly agreed to a substantial bonus on completion, which I'm now not going to get. To me it smacks of them terminating my contract so they don't have to pay me the bonus.
They are claiming gross misconduct as I didn't use my work laptop to access the internat network whilst working from home. Although it does not state that I have to do that in my contract. My boss just told me to get access to the network from home and to make sure I took my work laptop home (I cannot get the exact wording anymore as it's in work e-mails that I no longer have access to). When I quizzed them on that they then stated that my work was inadequate (after being there for 2.5 months and not having said that so far) and my attendance was poor, (again this had not been raised prior to them terminating my contract). I consider both of the last statement to be inaccurate.
I'm interested in knowing if anyone has any advice. The agency I went through have been useless and have stuck up for the client and not me. I'm extremely upset and frustrated about the whole thing, I've never been in this position before and had my professionalism questioned before. Any help/advice woudl be much appreciated.
