Forum - CAN I CONSIDER MY EMPLOYER'S ACTION AS UNFAIR DISMISSAL

CAN I CONSIDER MY EMPLOYER'S ACTION AS UNFAIR DISMISSAL

I have been subjected to continuous ill-treatment (Harassment, intimidating, bullying and victimisation) at work by my line manager.

His behaviour has adversely affected my health (Emotional, psychological & professional well-being), this has led to being placed on medication by my GP (-Distress).

This incident then reported to HR Manager in writing for formal consideration.

Two working days after reported the incident of ill-treatment, I was suspended from work around 11PM.

Reason given after my suspension was -the managers have checked one of the job that was done by me some weeks ago & it was discovered that the job was not properly done. The alleged offence was brand/termed as Gross Misconduct.

The investigation was not reasonable conducted;
The minutes of the investigation hearing was contrived to mis-direct the readers --I officially protested their finding to HR manager. The response of the HR was not reasonable in all the circumstances.

I believe the allegations invested/brought after my grievance was to subdue me from having fair grievance hearing.

Before the arrival of this manager, I have been having good appraisal with good recommendation.

My grievance was neither consider nor resolved till this moment that I was dismissed.

I was dismissed without coroborative evidence to the allegations.

The supporting evidence presented by me were not considered before they arrived at their decision.

Please assess this issue if I can proceed to Employment Tribunal.

It's very difficult to tell whether someone has been unfairly dismissed without knowing all the details. You can find general advice on what is and isn't unfair dismissal on the site. If your employer failed to follow their disciplinary procedure properly or treated you unfairly you could have a claim worth taking to a tribunal.

Your best bet is to get together all the paperwork you have relating to this - a copy of your employer's disciplinary and grievance procedures, any letters you sent or received and so on. Take it either to an employment lawyer or to your local Citizens Advice Bureau - either should be able to give you some initial guidance and help you decide what your next steps are.

Good luck!
Chris
