Getting fired

[SMOKEU]

I'm probably about to get fired from my job. Does my employer have to give me my full holiday pay upon dismissal?

[EJK]

For what reason? It's quite hard to get fired I heard...

Hey I'm no expert, but I do know one.. A very very good employment lawyer, I will ask but it might take me a few days to get hold of her though.

[Jantar]

Yes, you are entitled to all outstanding holiday pay.

[Maha]

Hell yeah, if you dont get whats owing to you, mention 'Employment Tribunal' and you are sure to.

Cheers. I got told by my manager that the store manager wants me gone because I gave insufficent notice about wanting my shifts reduced for reasons beyond by reasonable control.

That is not sufficient reason to be fired. You would have a case with the employment court for unjustified dismissal. You can't be fired for simply wanting your shifts reduced.

You can be fired if your shifts weren't reduced but you failed to turn up for work. Even then you must receive fair warning (in writing) before you can be dismissed. If your hours were'nt changed, but you failed to turn up for work, after a set period the employer can treat that as though you have resigned.

Heh, ask for that in writing.

I signed up for school and only gave my employer about 5 days notice to have all of my shifts changed. My contract says I must give at least 2 weeks notice. So I do admit fault here.

Yes. You are entitled to 8% of your gross earnings less any leave that has been advanced. You must have been very naughty to get fired. That actually takes some doing in this day and age. Perhaps you mean made redundant? Even so, the same rules apply.

No, not redundant. The store manager has told me several times before that he wants me fired. He's looking for any excuse.

I actually read the rest of the thread after I responded to you. He cant just sack you, no way. Have someone look at your contract for you if you cant see what your rights are. They are usually very well balanced, and no employer can simply say " you are fired" There is a defined process. Ring 0800 20 90 20 on Monday for some advice. Best of luck with it too.

I hope you are recording dates, times, and any witnesses present when this was told to you?

[Slyer]

You have to be given 3 written warnings before you can get fired I think.

He cant fire you without 3 seperate warnings in writing (unless you do something illegal like punch him or steal from the company)
they must be seperate and he must give you time and assistance to correct your behaviour

Im pretty sure that the reason you have given probably wouldnt even justify a written warning but that depends on a lot of things

tell us how bad have you been? (assuming you cant be identified)

no matter what you are entitled to your holiday pay
