Dismissed by job - unfair dismissal claim

Same boat.
I wonder how much "life cost" trying to pursue it would be.

Even now I'm thinking about this rather than applying for jobs.
How much mental load is this going to take?

I'm 50:50 on what to do which makes it so difficult. Genuinely 50:50.

Settlement is easier. But with the job market and way it is, pushing is more tempting.

This is the question.

Whilst on the surface it sounds like something that you could pursue - maybe even just for a higher settlement if there is deemed they didn't follow process etc.

Is it worth the time and hassle and potential expense? Also it will take time, a lot of time..... most of these type of cases end up taking months and months just for paperwork to be disclosed/gathered etc

The fact your manager has been booted also won't help. That's just another frustration/time sink to get their side of things if they don't want to get involved etc

I'm going to be dismissed from my job.

Sorry to hear that.

Yeah it is.
Basically 3 months notice.
Tax free lump sum.
Holiday pay.

No contractual bonus.

Not terrible. I'd probably just move on.
You did say you wanted more time off.

Yeah this has certainly changed the other thread.

I'm also now looking for contracts and perm jobs. But with this significant development. It's definitely a time to persue contracts.

I'm so thankful I'm in a financially good place.

I'm stressing a bit over the settlement stuff but not about cash flow... Yet!

 

[Uther]

Perfect opportunity to look at contracting I'd have thought.

ACAS is a waste of time. If they made you redundant you would be entitled to less.

Take the money and walk away. You said yourself this wasn't a job that was making you happy.

Have you asked if they will give you a decent reference if you need one for a new job?

Basic factual.
Dates. Role.

Nothing more or less.

Yeah I'm pretty close to this position now in my head. Just making sure I'm sure.

And yes. Acas haven't really helped. When they can't give advice it's not it the most useful in this situation.

I also thought that about redundancy too. It would be less.

References at this level normally say "Joe Bloggs worked from here X to Y period in role Z"
