Sent home with one month’s pay. Was promoted a month ago, is now dumped for ‘not performing’ in a job he’d never done before. Poor fellow; nice guy and v. intelligent. Have given him a business card and advised him to go freelance; no more emotions or bulltulip, just monthly invoices. NL market’s picking up too. Will call him again at weekend.

In addition to going contracting, of course, if he's been there for more than 1 year, he should immediately start a claim for unfair dismissal. It's quite difficult for companies to avoid having to pay out.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

If they promoted him and then sacked him in a month I would be laughing by bloody tits off as I drive round to me solicitor to start proceedings against them.
Sorry but there is a definate smell of bulltulip round here. You bored today?'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostErm.. I am almost certain you cannot be sacked for 'not performing' in a job and especially within a month so would question the validity of your story. For a permie to be sacked for doing a bad job they have to go through performance appraisals and whole raft of process for the company to be able to sack them without reprisal for unfair dismissal.

Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostYou obviously don’t know Dutch employment practise. Permies start here on contracts of one year at a time before getting the permie contract; he was told with one month to run until renewal that he’s out.
Still... surely they can be held responsible to some extent surely? He could throw a fit and try for some form of compensation. The company had a responsibility to make sure he was capable before giving him the job surely?'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment
