anyone here all clued up on employment law?

i know a bit (although i look at tings from an employers perspective so you might not like what i tell you) ;)

buckley is a more compassionate employer so maybe he can help? ;)
 
i'm project managing the buying of a service that will provide a employment law function amongst other things, so i've come across quite a lot of the basics recently.

I genuinely am! I just don't take kindly to lazy twats and thieves.

If this is about how to get rid of someone Chew, the devil is in the detail, the process, not who's right and who's wrong. Make sure you follow your disciplinary process to the letter particularly in relation to a fair hearings, representation and right of appeal.

If you're not replacing them and they've been there less than year, just make the post redundant and under a year attracts no pay off ;)

Feeling the love today! ;) :lol:

Chewie, if in doubt take proper legal advice as Buckley is right - you must ensure that all your handbook procedures have been properly followed.

That's what I'm thinking. The boss would be better off firing you, Chewie :twisted:

in a nutshell.

Deadwood was on very high £'s lets say 40k.

Deadwood has Sprog.

Deadwood then decides she wants to come back after Maternity leave for 2 days a week with pay to the equivilant to her old salary. telling me boss a day b4 she was legally due back.

Deadwood wants to come back full time, but we dont want her for the following reasons.

a) her skills are limited, since she was working on one account for a long period, shes kinda forgotten how to do other stuff.

b) ive now taken over her old role. (and theres no way on earth shes gettin it back).

c) Company aint doing too great - which is why we might be letting the bottom feeder go soon.

now, we dont want her back, and boss was telling me the disciplinary procedure can take up to 18months with written warnings about conduct etc...

can he make her redundant? - downside being we cant legally replace her for 6 months, and theres too much work for 2 people, but not enough for 3. or possibly force her hand by offering the job full time, on half of what she earned, as she would no longer be in her old position with those responsibilities.

You need proper advice sir. The fact that in effect you've taken her post while she's on maternity leave could cause problems. You can't demote her while she's on maternity leave, so if she chooses to come back full time she'd be entitled to her full salary.

Don't think she can work 2 days a week unless you let her. I'd consider saying that doesn't work unless she resigns and goes freelance. If she goes for that and you don't want to employ her freelance, you're laughing. :lol:

If you haven't got advice, contact Yvonne, details below. Not cheap, but worth it what it might save you.

it was Her choice to come back and do 2 days a week, and she resigned from her old lofty position.

If actually resigned and you can prove it i.e. in writing, and there's a reasonable break 'in service' why are you offering her anything?

Advice: Don't employ women :lol:

Back in the mists of time.

Not exactly up to date on the area but I do know how much a good employment lawyer can save you/make you.

Now, if you need some private equity fund advice I'm your man. Can do special rates for mates :P You also get a discount for staying awake in meetings with me ;)
