It's not just a tough for those of you out there looking for work, it's even tougher now trying to stay in a job without your employer taking advantage of the system. Current employment law is not fair on workers at all!

| 08-2-2010 | I agree there should be more protection, all was well for me for the first eight months, then the bullying started my manager told me I would be the most hated person in the office, I was then blamed for an engineer ringing into work stating he was sick, I passed the message on, then got an email ...more | kes |
| 08-2-2010 | I've just been dismissed from my job like this too (29th Jan). I've had appraisals leading up to this date saying how well I've been doing and on a regular basis been praised for my work. Just the same as you, on the Friday at 4.15pm I was taken into the boardroom and told I was being d...more | Sassi |
| 06-11-2009 | Some of these comments are a joke. Employees have far more rights than they did a few years ago and to the person who claims the UK is going downhill, feel free to go live in another country. It really isn't that difficult.
As both an employer and an employee, I find my loyalties divided on ...more | AK47 |
| 08-8-2009 | My employer has dismissed me for no good reason three weeks before the 12 months were up! I have only just had a pay rise. How is this fair? Can I appeal this?? | Kensa in London |

| 14-5-2009 | If this was France, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium etc. etc. you would have vastly more rights. As it is you have little more rights in this country as a indigenous person and very probably much less than an illegal immigrant. Face it your employers here are little more than...more | Is UK the Third World? Or Just Plai |
| 14-5-2009 | Employees have enough rights, where do people think employers can get money to pay redundancy as it is? A small business struggling doesn't have any money, it can't be just summoned up out of thin air. Employees need to get real. | andrewthornton |
| 13-5-2009 | Before the first year of employment is up, you can be sacked from your job, you have no rights of employment at all.
Except under the DDA - Disability Discrimination Act. If, say, you can prove that you have a qualifying disability and that the sacking was discriminatory under the DDA, then you ...more | Nikki |
| 13-5-2009 | I would simply ignore the "employee debt" as there is no chance in hell they can legally pursue it. Put them down to experience and tell everyone you know never to work for them or buy their products/services. If they treat employees like this, God knows how they treat customers! | An Employee |
| 12-5-2009 | I feel sorry for you, and the last posters sum it up very well. Only possible things I can think of are adjustments for NI, taxes, or some other expense. This shouldn't happen but you never know with some company's creative accounting. I would certainly ask for a detailed breakdown of the co...more | Swindonian |
| 12-5-2009 | I had exactly the same problem as the poster. And it was very scary that one year rule (3 more months to go!) I also agree with the two other comments. My personal opinion is this, this country has died, the last one out is a rotten egg!!
It's not even that though, you have NO RIGHTS if yo...more | Will |
| 12-5-2009 | "I would receive pay for my notice period of one week."
They have timed this very, very carefully.
Presumably up to this moment you have already received all the pay you were due, for all the weeks you have already served?
They are getting rid of you with one week's notice. Ch...more | There is no Fairtrade in UK |
