If it's employers fault to over pay why should they to claim money back by underpaying staff to claim their money
If employer has made a fault in overpaying staff then whose fault is it
True
My JM is in the morning and I’m feeling super nauseous about it. I’ve got my UTAW rep with me but my brain goes totally blank when I’m stressed 😭
Love these guides!
I got sacked after only 2 weeks for making some mistakes on a 6 month probation
Very informative thank you
I got my et1 form in tine, however I put my hone address instead of employers address during to working from home, now have to fight put of tine even though tribunal clerk said it was in time??
Can I contact my employer directly or do I have to go through the tribunal?
The problem with number 3 is in my experience, they still dont have any issue lying and saying it doesnt exist.
Hard copies not allowed??? Where do I save the emails for evidence?
I’m pregnant and my work doesn’t provide suitable seating arrangements and desk areas and when I told managers they asked why I didn’t sit by myself in the 2X4foot server room on my own away from my colleagues, I said that’s not suitable for work so they then I asked why I didn’t ask my colleagues to do a rota for who gets to sit on a desk chair at the desk and who sits in the customer chair where there’s no leg room to sit at the desk? I said that’s not appropriate, But apparently I should have wheeled another desk chair out to sit on despite there being no leg room to sit at the desk or again sat in a separate room on my own despite needing to speak to my colleagues to do our work. I gave them a sick note stating stress but really don’t want to return as I don’t feel welcome and my managers were very defensive and childish asking if I’m upset due to hormones and telling me to get counselling and saying I basically hurt their feelings when I expressed I didn’t think they were handling it properly. I don’t really know where I stand as it’s not specific to anything it’s just them not being very good managers but I don’t think it falls under a specific discrimination?
I’ve just seen this educative video and I am incensensed because UK bus drivers hours regulations are worse in respect of time off between shifts and rest days per week …. It would really help us if you did a brief comparison video . Thanks.
Great video, thank you
thank you very much!
Hi are you still doing a q&a this november ?
Please how do I reach you in socials
Hi, I have a preliminary tribunal hearing on 26/11/2024, do you have to send a bundle to the court before the hearing. Thanks.
Thanks. That's a very useful clarification. I had been looking at the Equalities Act earlier this morning and had been reading about protected acts.
What isnt explained is that doing this can also shorten yr time too. What does AT LEAST a month mean?
You Said about on-going support what is this please and how
Hey how can I reach you via socials?
When and what day you live , like to join in pls
Hello , how can I reach you privately please?
can you record the meeting?
Can I email you pls ? Email address pls
Do you have to let ACAS know in writing before you go ahead with a tribunal application?
yes - is mandatory - claim will not be accepted otherwise
Hi there. My questions is please. You mentioned if you've been dismissed if you worked for the company 2 years and over. What if you worked for the company for 10 months but they didn't followed any procedure what so ever, they didn't give you any heads up, even if you had a performance review with them 3 days before they made redundant (where they mentioned about the next ahead plan, you being part of the plan). They just send an email out, you stop working from today. 😂 Thank you in advance.
I love this woman, I always feel better after watching her stuff. As a disabled litigant in person, this is huge help. She is a fighter. Brilliant!
Hi, was recently fired by a small company where the boss lavishes in Dubai. I was sacked because I put a customers keys through there letterbox (matter of security) as keys were under mat on premise, I believe that this is a vulnerability for thefts as customers car keys were also there, I did the right thing but customer was locked out (property leasing company never gave a spare key I believe) I believe leaving keys out if stolen invalidates insurance on items they may be stolen. and was also sacked on the basis of timekeeping (but customers not being available at tenancies for me to do the work), but also was stated times were only for guidance so I would complete another job while customer is away then come back to premise. Boss would not issue tenants numbers and contacting him was a pain as he replied hours later. Also this said employer never gave me a contract or a written statement and asked on several occasions. My work was meant to be salary and as he said in the interview, if you finish early you can go home early which I believe would tie into salary as full days should be paid. Also some days I was so overworked I never got any breaks for lunch. Now employer is withholding wages and not issueing payment of wages for all the days, I believe he only want to pay me by the time which is contradictory to agreed salary payment. If I take this to a tribunal would you be interested. Sam
ALL OF YOU SHUT UP AND DISAPPEAR!
Thank you, you're amazing. God Bless you my love!
Well done Lisa, I know it was a long time ago now. I too have been in a protracted civil dispute with someone more powerful and richer than me - and won (in settlement before trial) and in another matter years later, which I appealed after losing initially, and then won. I prepared my own Appeal as I knew the solicitors had screwed up the first time around. They were both challenging but interesting chapters of my life but, by golly, they were both so stressful, time consuming gathering all the evidence, preparing the case - as you had experienced too. You have demonstrated, as have I too, that if you fight hard, do your homework, remain tenacious and keep a clear head, you can get justice. For anyone reading this, it's worth remember this: the guilty party is at a disadvantage automatically, because they must rely on the opposition screwing up to win their case because they can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear. Those with strong cases need only recognise that is true and present their case well and dismantle the opposition case by pointing out its weaknesses and convincing the judge that is so.
Hi Danae! Great video - by screenshot the email do you mean by taking a picture on your personal phone of the email on your work laptop screen ? And could that be presented as evidence in court if employer rejects SAR requests or claims the emails disappeared
What if it’s on the other side? My employer has given me two wp letters with low offered when I put in a grievance about my manager. The grievance went under the carpet and they are forcing me out by making my like hell. Can they do this? Ps I have MS and proof of miss treatment but they have deleted emails and teams call etc. ACAS weren’t very helpful last time I called them.
Thank you for your helpful video. I'm on the cuss of raising a grievance @ work and this has been well worth viewing. I wonder how many places of work behave like this? I'm sure it is way too many.
Thank you for your kind and important advice. 🙏🏽
So good to hear you very clearly explaining the whole terrifying process of employment tribunals, because I nearly was emotionally giving up due to my union team bullying me ❤
This sounds exactly like Israel's legal team approach at the ICJ, if you also chuck in "someone's shuffled my papers!"
229 crash course history explains who is running the show and I know how to change it all :) Thanks for sharing, I might make a reaction video for this. Could do with teaming up with you
May I ask, why is the employment tribunal allowing such letters to be sent to employees for making such a claim? If they are allowed to gaslight employees is that not a claim within itself? With regards to Acas then, if we seek their advice and they say there is no claim would you still advise to pursue this in the tribunal? My colleague said he spoke to Acas and that is what they told him, but I've experienced it differently with another employer where they did pay us, i.e travel time. Thank you. Great channel btw and thanks for sharing your knowledge, insights and wisdom.
Costs warnings and orders do have a place in the Tribunal system as they can be useful for both employers and employees. Unfortunately, Tribunals don't have control over what your employer does in your claim, but there are processes put in place to discuss inappropriate and retaliatory behaviour
ACAS is generally a useful resource, but they are a large organisation and the help you get from them can vary from person to person. We would always suggest getting a second opinion, if you are thinking about making a claim.
@valla_law hiya, I've just replied to Jade in the email. I thought Acas was designed to protect corporations to seek out of court settlements in a sense because once it becomes precedent, then everyone can use that case in their dispute. It also stops corporations having a strike against their name. The first guy hung up, and the second one was so nonchalant treating me like an idiot going... "yep, well, the working time directive is your normal working hours, and they're not forced to pay it. Even though it states this in the law, it is classed as working time. I hate legalese 1914, the language if the law society used to manipulate us. They just get away with it. Thanks for your advice. Jade was very helpful emailing me back. I watched more of your videos and found you did the merit assessment, so I used that instead of writing a comment on here. Thanks again, and I'll be sharing your website and yourself with others to help them in disputes.
Very useful my former company refused to talk to acas now going to the tribunal .
Good luck with your case! Let us know if you need any help!
Mine unfair dismissal email accusing me of misconduct came with a £6000 gesture of goodwill payment . At first I thought how kind of them but after speaking to people I realise is was hush money to stop me from realising it was an unfair dismissal with NO dismissal process followed or appeal opportunity given and I was not present at any dismissal proceeding nor was I invited . That’s when I realised what the £6000 was for ! To stop me from going to ACAS . I have now requested a DSAR from my employer and applied for Early conciliation 🙏 I am terrified as this is a massive corporate company with plenty of legal resources and I am pretty sure the bully tactics will be used 😢😢
I'm in the same boat, going Tribunals next month. Good luck on your case!
I looked that costs up Kiff v Kane and it wasn't vexatious, so name a vexatious one so we can have a read please?
making assumptions about a medical condition amounted to direct discrimination
Depending on the circumstances, this would most likely fall under discrimination arising from disability. We have a guide for this: valla.uk/tribunal-claim/et1-discrimination-from-disability

my tribunal ptsd brought me here ,i can tell u a trinunal horror story where my case management discussions where held in the back rooms where nobody can hear u scream .my 3 pretend cmds where over 27 months as they trying wear me out
@@blazinstars6660 don't let them make you give up. Did the same to me.
That was brilliant! Had a question about what an employee could do about deleted evidence? I suspect the company I worked for asked their IT specialists to delete every trace of the meeting I had with my manager on Teams. It never showed up on the 2 DSAR requests I made.
This happens a lot unfortunately! I'm not quite sure what you can do about getting deleted meeting notes back, but depending on certain factors, a Judge might find that strange enough that it gives more credence to your story. Like for example, if the meeting took place within the past six months and their policy states that all notes are to be held for a period of a year, but then you make a complaint about something that was said during the meeting and all of a sudden it disappears? It'd be a bit of a red flag!
@valla_law thank you for your reply, much appreciated :) I had put about the deletion in my grievance and they didn't acknowledge or address it in the outcome. I'll just emphasise it on my witness statement!
In my case, they have put a Solictor and she has said all my allegations are fiction.
Ma’am wants to speak to you .
