Just bear in mind that sending a document in the post to an Employee does not constitute them having received, read, understood and agreed to the content therein.

Re: gross misconduct charge
Once you have sent a document, in whatever form, it doesn't matter if they receive it or not, or even if they find the material in anyway offensive.
If anyone finds it offensive, for whatever reason, then you have breached the terms of the use of electronic communication guidelines.

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Re: gross misconduct charge
No but signing the PDA training document does, that document contains a line about being trained on acceptable use and misuse, going to be a bit harder getting round that oneHimaggen wrote:Just bear in mind that sending a document in the post to an Employee does not constitute them having received, read, understood and agreed to the content therein.
Also in the contract it mentions the employee hand book being part of your t and c so simply denying you received the update in itself would not be grounds for saying you didn't know about it

Re: gross misconduct charge
"dismissed with 6 weeks notice", does this mean six weeks of pay is being given.
Hi diabolic, bad time to lose work, hopefully you have good health and the force change could be positive in the long term. My advice is get out pen and paper, work out your finances, make a plan, either fight to get your job back or start a new journey, all the best for 2014.

Re: gross misconduct charge
Good luck Diabolic.
When we first started getting the 12 O`clock Special Delivery message on the PDA every day , I replied with something like %#£& just for fun, silly really but now I dont read them at all - they disappear after a few days.

Thanks brains. I did this few times as well. That's why I thought you are replying to a server. I must be important cause somebody was reading my messages ;)
