bristolsaint29 Posted 2 July, 2012 Share Posted 2 July, 2012 Handed my notice in at work and was asked to leave premises as is common ony industry. Now with no written notification they have decided to withold my notice and am taking to a tribunal regarding this. Now just remembered when they fell through the door my company bought 2 football season tickets in my name and I believe the name can't be transferred. So big question do I keep and use as bartering tool or be a good boy and send them back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint1977 Posted 3 July, 2012 Share Posted 3 July, 2012 Keep them for now. If they won't play reasonably then they can't expect you to. Mind you, I'd probably go to ACAS first to force them to cough your notice up because neither side will want the hassle of a tribunal (their HR people and relevant ops managers will have to prepare and the cost of lost output is probably far more than they owe you), plus some recruiters in all sectors can be a bit immature about people having been to an ET, even they won and were fully justified in doing so.

bristolsaint29 Posted 3 July, 2012 Author Share Posted 3 July, 2012 Have spoken to ACAS and sent my company confirmation of wanting payment within 14 days. After that tribunal time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clapham Saint Posted 3 July, 2012 Share Posted 3 July, 2012 If they owe you more than £750 issue them with a statutory demand. (Free) They'll soon cough up. If they don't pay within 21 days threaten to issue a winding up petition. (Would cost you £800 or so if it came to it). The risk of contesting in court (and potentially losing and being placed into liquidation) is much worse than just paying you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redondo Saint Posted 3 July, 2012 Share Posted 3 July, 2012 If the season tickets were funded by the company they are not your property. I assume they are for customer entertaining? This should not be used as a bartering tool as it is totally unrelated to your notice period. If your employment contract states a notice period then they have to pay you along with any other benefits due. They are entitled to send you home for this period and request you stay close to your telephone. I can only think they are just playing with you and being vindictive as they have to pay you - I guess you told them you are joining a competitor.

bristolsaint29 Posted 3 July, 2012 Author Share Posted 3 July, 2012 I will send back once they ask for them as they are refusing to communicate with me. Have decided to ask for confirmation of what is going on and if no response in 3 days I will start tribunal proceedings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is the resistance to paying you coming from? Normally HR Directors or MD's try to avoid bad PR and just pay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suewhistle Posted 3 July, 2012 Share Posted 3 July, 2012 Buying you two Reading season tickets when you're a Saints fan is surely constructive dismissal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolsaint29 Posted 3 July, 2012 Author Share Posted 3 July, 2012 The director is the problem. Has told me to go away get on with my life. Have also just found out he is also doing the same to another member of staff. Apparently he is well known for doing this! I think the main thing I will be able to get him on is the fact there has been absolutely no communication or reasoning behind this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
