Wife suspended over comments on facebook, advice!

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

I hope the person who reported your wife has a colostomy bag burst over their face.

As far as I understand it, if you are sacked then you can claim JSA straight away. Its only if you quit of your own accord without a valid reason that you can't claim.

[Ed209]

If you are sacked for misconduct I don't think you can claim JSA

[thetime]

Cheers for your words of wisdom and advice people!

[Rufus Gwertigan]

Any ideas how she stands with claiming jsa, sacked but a harsh one in my view.

You can't claim when sacked can you?

Just a little update, the wide has been sacked!

Didnt even have chance to give her side, sacked 5 mins into disciplinary.

At the then they said here's a 10 pound Christmas bonus.

[rachbon]

that's awful

it seems like a really unfair reason to sack someone.

if they are having financial problems, shouldn't they be making staff redundant, rather than looking for silly excuses to sack people?

[rachbon]

If you make people redundant then you have to give them a pay off (if they've worked there for a few years) where as sacking someone it costs nothing to them.

Obviously just looking to cut staff and finding very flimsy reasons to sack them . I'd be straight onto ACAS, they gave me some good advice when my work was closing. Whichever way you loook at it, the company's in the wrong and they shouldn't be allowed to get away with it.

[russycarps]

are they in the wrong though to sack someone for breaching the terms of their contract? (I assume this is a breach of contract). Morally yes, but legally?

It's unfair and mean, but it's legal.

It's like being fired for sending personal emails/using the internet.

Sadly the only way to avoid this sort of thing is dont breach your contract. But if the tories get their way even that wont be enough if a company is determined to fire people.

well bit of an update.

wife got a new job over christmas, bit of a blessing her losing the job really.

New job with better hours, supervisory role and better pay. We also managed to get the whole christmas and new year together, which was a big bonus as you can imagine in a old people home theres no christmas shut down lol.

Shes also persuing the sacking so all is good,

happy days.

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

That's a bit of a result. Fair play to the fickle hand of fate.

[grumpyhack]

I'd be grateful, and tell her not to push her luck and celebrate too much on Facebook. Quit while you're ahead.

Hillariously the advert at the top of the thread (at the moment) is for employment law specialists. The advert companies are getting good, scarily good.

[TalkShow Bob]

Im never really sure how they get away with claiming Facebook is public, mines totaly locked down to my friends. If shed said the same thing in the pub would they have any grounds?

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

It'll be interesting if she does take them to a tribunal. The first thing I would want is a copy of their policies and procedures to see how watertight it is. I recently found a gaping hole in my companies policies and procedures. Needless to say, they weren't very happy to have their mistake shown to them while they were trying to get me to move to cover another geographical area. I hope thetime's misses nails them to the cross.

From the earlier points in this post.....a work place can read your emails??? What about deleted emails?

any email you send on your employer's system belongs to your employer and they can do what the fuck they like with them

[Pogues Mcgogues]

What about if it's an email sent to me...from an external source. I'd imagine these things are pretty high up the chain anyway so it isn't a worry, an to be honest it isn't that bad. I'm off soon anyway so who cares!

And by gosh, it's nice to speak to some familiar username letters again!
