guys and girls,thanks for all the replies.Just to clarify a few things.one,my position is not redundant,he just thinks he is paying me too much and he thinks that he can maintain my job by using cheaper staff that are already there.
He has been paying me,albeit it reluctantly a annual bonus based on increased sales,which have been going up year on year.
two.its a small company with maybe 15 staff,he is owner and director,no contract was ever signed and no terms and conditions were ever put in place,we have no safety statement,no greivance procedure,no payment of wages policy and so on.
in 5 yeras the whole staff have had an accumalated wage increase of no more than 6%?.I had asked that his redundancy offer be put in writing and after bullying and harrasssing me,I went to my doctor shocked and stressed,who told me to take a week off,he sent me a letter calling it an ex gratia payment which was confusing?,in the same letter he alluded to the fact that my employment could not continue for various made up reasons,which are blatant lies,when I returned to work after a week of severe stress,he asked me was I accepting the offer,I said I couldn't as I had too many financial commitments,he sent me home on full pay and in that week I received a series of emails,texts and letters which were designed to discredit me with colleauges,customers and suppliers.he said that he had launched an investigation with some of my customers and wanted me to appear to a disciplinary meeting where a decision would be made about my future,although he said it would be conducted under the IBEC code of practice,no copy of said practice was given to me and I didn't even know we were in IBEC.
my advisors have written to him asking for copies of all the relevant documentation,such as terms and conditions,safety statement,bullying and harrasment statement,saftey and welfare at work act,and so on but he just sent an email saying he wasn't obliged to do so and wouldn't be doing so.
finally,whilst still out on sick cert,he sent another email,demanding my presence at a reconvened disciplinary hearing and if I sent another sick cert in that this was not a valid reason and a decision would be made in my absence which was made last week saying,the company has decide to dismiss you.
sorry for the long winded reply but this is really stressing me out!any further thoughts would be greatly appreciated?
