Hi all,
Wonder if you can help me here. A friend of mine, who owns a small business, has just found out, through one of his Customers, that one of his sales reps has been telling all of my friends Customers that he is going out of business & that he is setting up a new business to counter that. Now, A) He's not going out of business, this guy made this up to feather his own nest, B) He still works for my friend & is using his Car/Phone to set up his new business.
He hasn't confronted him yet, because he wants to make sure he does this correctly so there are no reprecussions. Does anyone have any advice on this that I could pass on? Does this fall under gross misconduct?
Mainly he is concerned with;
If he dismisses him, does he have to give any notice?
Would he be entitled to reducdancy?
Anything else? Any links would be appreciated.
Thanks all
