#235: Can You Be Sacked For Eating A Sandwich At Work That Is Part of Leftovers From the Management Meeting!
Manage episode 435501264 series 3003707
Hi there
This week we answer a listener’s question. Our listener informed us that her friend who is a cleaner was sacked from her agency cleaning job because she ate a cheese sandwich that was left-over from a meeting. We look at whether the action of dismissal was a standard reaction, and what you should do if you find yourself in a similar situation.
It's our view, that the more you are able to acquaint yourself with your employment rights in this area, the more your rights will act as an early warning system, which you can use to spot bad treatment or illegal treatment that you may be suffering at work. If you need help to formulate your complaint you can download a copy of our ‘Complaints Checklist’ here.
If you need help with sex discrimination queries or help to organise your thoughts into a complaint, you can download our Employment Rights Online checklist of 15 smart actions that you can use to help you challenge unfair and illegal treatment at work. We include templates for grievance letters with that download. You’ll find the link to the download in the show notes below. You can also find all our support links in the show notes below; and, if you would like to book a consultation with us to look at bullying , abuse or any other employment rights concern you may have, you can email us at employmentrightsonline@gmail.com. Alternatively, use the Consultations Link in the show notes, to go directly to our consultations bookings page. Finally, please share our podcast information with your family, friends and colleagues and leave us a review on iTunes or a rating on Spotify if you enjoy our podcasts.
Until next week
Have the best employment rights week that you can!
