Hello,
My Dad was recently sacked from his job of 15 years. He was sacked on the grounds of Gross Misconduct - which I don't believe is right. My Dad was asked to do something by his emploer which my Dad flet was unfair and it was not in his contract, and outside his normal duties. My dad refused and he was then suspended without pay and broght in the following day and sacked on the grounds of gross misconduct (surely this could not possiblty be seen as gross misconduct??.) My Dad asked that he have all of this is writing and the employer responded that it would be forwarded to him in due course. He never said what monies he was going to pay to him etc, and he still hasn't recieved anything in writing from him (6 days on). In this case would it seem like he should have given my Dad some notice or payment in lieu of notice?
This is a small family business and he already had one case of unfair constructive dismissal against him? Can anyone offer any opinions??
