Get expert opinion. This is the place for new questions to be posted.

By the way I forgot to add the company are saying that ignorance of the facts is not a defence.

Ignorance is not a defence if the act was fraudulent. However, if just against company policy you must have prior knowledge !

Correct Orange they cannot slander you, but it would not be amiss to mention that you were fired for misconduct. Many employers in this position merely refuse to give a reference, which speaks volumes in itself!

Hi- employers do not have to give references, but if they do- the reference must be true. You have the right to see a reference.

I would not advise resigning as the disciplinary would still conclude in your absence. Make sure you are prepared and have seen all related documents prior to the hearing stariting.

If you are dismissed, then I'm sure your IP wil be supportive.

For future employment, always be honest at interview about reasons for leaving past employment. If you want further employment law advice off forum please let me know.

Thanks Lulu - I'll help all I can, but it's easier off forum as I can get the whole story.

Apologies for spelling -typing from an ipad = errors for me!
