SACKED

[PHILLybee]

Sorry ,this is a different post just looking for some advice, I was employed by Manpower as a Sunday delivery driver working for royal mail, after five weeks I had a minor accident I caught the rear of the van on a concrete bollard, informed my supervisor who said we will have a look when I finish my round. arrived back at the office supervisor looked at the damage told me he would have to report it and I signed the form. Later that week I had a call from Manpower saying I was no longer needed. I was upset to loose my job, I thought I was doing alright a lot to take in when you only work one day a week and that was only the third time out on my own. Just wondering if anyone could tell me if I have a case to take it further, I would appreciate any advice, thank you

You would need to check your contract with manpower to see if there are any loopholes but from what you have posted here I would say no.

Nowadays I think you have to be employed a minimum of 2 years before you get a right to appeal an unfair sacking unless the sacking was based on a protected characteristic (Gender, orientation, disabilities etc). It's not fair, in fact, I would say it's wrong, but that's the state of play at the moment.

I suspect that technically you haven't lost your job as that is with Manpower. You may have lost your assignment to RM.
