Posted - 18 Jan 2010 : 10:10:39 AM I am having a living nightmare from my company, which has been on going for a year. I have enough evidence to take this to an IT, but am not sure of the best place to start.... Has anyone been through a similar thing? and can anyone point me in the right direction? Who to contact etc, my Union has been no help what so ever. If anyone has any advice please PM, i can not discuss this openly. Thank's.

Posted - 21 Jan 2010 : 11:34:00 AM One of the most important and effective things to do if you're going to an IT is to take contamperaneous notes.
Find your evidence and every time someone says something, or does something (or doesn't do something they should as a good employer) you should log it so it's written down and dated.
Judgements in these cases place huge weight on contemporaneous notes.
Good luck; some employers just don't realise how much more they'd get from their staff if they were just nice, and fair!

Posted - 19 Jan 2010 : 8:33:25 PM Hi, yes IT does mean Industrial Tribunal.
Thank you for yr advice alpacastoo, I have followed correct routes, policys and procedures, and have put in grievances and kept a diary, I have witness's too, and proof of events, and yr right others do scatter, but things have got to such a point that i really have no choice now but to take matters further. I have PM'd you, once again thank's.

Posted - 19 Jan 2010 : 3:58:51 PM IT means Industrial Tribunal I believe, although before you go down that route I think you need to go through all the other stages. It is important your grievances are in writing and that you have kept a diary of events. You may have witnesses (other employees) but it is unlikely they will stand up and be counted as they know their job would be on the line - in these situations you are usually on your own even if others agree with you. A good solicitor is important at the early stages to guide you. If you pm me I can give you a name of one. Good luck

Posted - 19 Jan 2010 : 3:25:32 PM Thank you Sub....will check this out.
Yes have gone to the top, but this is where my problem lies, Have spoken to my union, but they dont want to get involved as i am Management!!! Have looked at lots and lots of Employment information sites, but cant seem to find the "Time guide lines" for grievances, disciplinaries etc. I am also looking for a company to take my case on, but have been brushed off a few times, its a BIG story, lol....

Posted - 19 Jan 2010 : 1:09:08 PM Have you spoken to your company rep or gone over their head? Sometimes, the local reps are pretty much pants! It's best to go straight to the legal help line with the union and discuss with them - they can tell you where to go from there.
If you have legal cover with your home insurance, you can go through them too.
