I'm asking this on behalf of my dad. He's been working for his uncle for about 35 years, dad is now 60. Last Saturday, there was a huge argument at work - my dad had booked this week off as holidays, and his uncle told him on Sat that he can't take this week off because his own son was going to some trade shows, and they couldn't both be missing at the same time. Dad booked this week off last May, wrote it in the office diary and marked it in the office calendar.
So basically, he told his uncle that he was sick of this sort of carry-on, (this isn't the first time it has happened), and that he was handing in his notice.
He doesn't regret it at all. But he does realise that employment may be difficult to find at his age. In general, what is he entitled to now from his employer? Anything at all? What does he need from him when he finishes work in 8 weeks time, is it a P45? Will he be entitled to the Dole, and if so, how much? (My mum doesn't work, none of us live at home. )
Any other advice that anyone could pass on would be much appreciated.
Personally, I feel that this is bullying on the part of his uncle, and probably not legal. Am I correct?
Thanks in advance,
Justine
