i have my interveiw today for gross misconduct an false claim of 1 an a half hours overtime they know what time i finished but they dont know what time i started an some days when id finished i just came home early what am i suposse to do can i say to them i can take them to a tribunal for harrasment an also mention the convention act article 8 for invading my private life am suspended but thre is another lad up with the same charges an hes still at work his interveiw is before mine so could i also mention justified discrimanation to them i know its my own fault i never took my meal breaks as im only there 4 hrs an help please my union man is going to be there
Had to pull the above from another thread,as i couldn't understand whats happened,but maybe that's just me??
Sharon,i'm still somewhat confused,but if i read between the lines,it sounds to me as though,
your on a 5 hour contract? 9am-2pm
when you walk in the office your entire walk should be ready,you still get 30 mins break,and the outdoor element should
allow for 4 hours.
But Royal mail know you cannot do the job in 5 hours,this includes prepping households,redirections,etc..
so rely on people protracting(booking overtime)they even say "i know you start at 9am but you can come in early if you
want"
So did you start at 7.30am(before your time)finish at 2pm and try and claim this time back?
essentially if that's the case,i think that's why the union are reluctant to get involved,they won't support you coming in
early.
This could be very interesting and please let us know how you get on,because Royal mail are saying we will only pay
you for your contracted hours,but you are requesting to be paid for all the hours you have worked.
if you signed in at 7.30,then that cannot be construed as fraud.
best of luck.
