just had a word with the boy, showed him your links and hes asking questions about whether hed need solicitors etc. i guessed not and said we could just send letters ourselves but not sure how to approach this (thats if he decides to go ahead).
i mentioned that we could word a letter along the lines of ‘sorry but i d not accept this termination of my contract. employment law states that apprentices cannot me made redundant due to work shortages, so id like to continue my employment please’
however, he doesnt want to go back there, so if they say ok, its not the outcome he wants.
so….. assuming hes better off out of there, is there any point in continuing? a better termination payment or something maybe?
if its starting to get too complicated ill drop you an email, just wondered if its likely to end here now or worth pursuing for financial reasons. as that link implies, has this made him more unemployable now?
thanks a lot
EDIT: to cloudy the waters a little, he says he was moaned at for not keeping his nvq up to date. when i asked why he says they gave him the wrong password months ago. im guessing it was maybe laziness on his part that he didnt chase ‘the right password’ up, so maybe he’s in the wrong here. dunno if thats relevant tho.
