Sharon,

Your Area Rep or your Branch Secretary will be able to help you out, you have 3 calendar months to lodge your appeal, and this can be pulled at any time, should you win your appeal.

The form that you require is a ET1 form and this can be downloaded from the internet or your nearest citizens advice should have them in stock, best of luck.

Ask at a Dole Office or Job Centre - they'll give you a form - there will be instructions as to where to send it to

You don`t have to download the form off the internet,you can just fill the ET1 online and press send and hey presto it goes to your nearest employment tribunal office.
You can even if you want to, do abit at a time and save it to your computer then send it when your confident that you`ve filled it in correctly.
Simples.
Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

I am finding it very hard to get a list of Employment tribunal results on the internet.
There doesn't seem to be a database that I can find.
Although I have found a good book but it won't be available til after christmas and it costs money.
Employment Tribunal Claims: Tactics and Precedents
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1903 ... 1903307708

And a little bit here.
http://www.communitylegaladvice.org.uk/ ... t02_11.jsp
In practice, employment tribunals rarely force employers to reinstate or re-engage people. If you lose your claim for reinstatement or re-engagement, you may still receive compensation.
The tribunal is unlikely to make you pay your employer’s costs for defending (arguing against) your claim even if you lose. Similarly, if you win, the tribunal is unlikely to make your employer pay your costs for bringing the claim (such as the cost of copying documents or getting the advice of a solicitor). You should be prepared to pay these costs yourself.
No I'm not being paranoid, they really are out to get me.

I'm not sure if I'm right in saying and will haveto do a bit more research but I think the average offer from a tribunal is £15000.
So for a long serving postman they still save money as far as redundancy etc goes. It is easier for RM to go the sacking route and pay £15000 if they want to get rid of someone and the going rate is a max of £15000 unless it's for racial or sexual harassment or any other form of disrimination like disability.
They can cobble together any old bullsh1t and get away with a £15000 bill, no more pension, no more uniform or overtime, holiday and sick pay. It's the name of the game these days.

At the end of the day mate you're worth £15000, tops.

From what I have looked at the median awards of 2008 ..............means average I think, .......the awards for unfair dismissal if upheld runs at about £8500 approx.


Just remember if you lose you get nothing.

So that's £8500 and you don't get your job back, still a cheap way of getting rid of someone.
I understand why they do it now, sack people on trumped up charges I mean.

Nearly - Median is the middle value of a group of figures:

For instance.

1, 10, 15, 33, 55

Average is: 22.8
Median is: 15

Nearly - Median is the middle value of a group of figures: (Median basically means that 1/2 of the numbers are above it and half are below it - with an average this of course would not apply)

For instance.

1, 10, 15, 33, 55

Average is: 22.8
Median is: 15
