Suspended from work

Glad you can help him; in my day in the Public Service the Staff people were far from honest brokers - the FDA as a matter of course provided legal advice from a lawyer at the outset; I hope in this day and age, personnel people act as honest broker - but I can appreciate it can be difficult when they are employed by the same outfit.

I hope he gets it sorted.

[Julie]

in my experience HR has improved vastly and indeed look after the employees very well....definitely is true in my case.

[Max]

Thank goodness for that Swans Girl - it is about time! You must have a facinating job!

[Max]

Swans Girl - Imust tell you this; my GP showed me an advert from the internal paper of the local PCT. Complaints Manager - £70,000 per annum; Director of Human Resources - £52000 per annum!

[Julie]

mmmm....maybe I'll apply for a complaints manager job Max [:D]

I love the type of job I do, as it means I can advise friends also......doesn't make me immune to HR issues though. I'm on the receiving end of a badly managed restrucutre as we speak.

[Max]

It just shows where the priorities of the PCT are! I hope everything works out for you - at least with your know how you will not be a push over. Best of luck.

Have to say that my HR is rubbish. I was supposed to have an interview with them when I went back to work in April after sick leave - I'm still waiting to hear from them!

I used to be an activist for a well known nurses union and hated coming up against HR or human remains as we used to fondly know them, the goal posts used to change even though you'd go in with all your preparation done, they'd throw something else in the pile, grr! However since having gone into the managerial side of nursing now i have to say that things have changed thankfully. I hope that Tom gets this sorted out sooner than later it must be a worry with this over his head, i still can't believe that it has gone this far to be honest. Good luck Tom i hope that this comes to an end and your job is safe.

just wondering how you are Tom. Oscar

[Julie]

Any news on the investigation Tom?

[kallis3]

Did you get my email with the solicitor details Tom?

Hi All
I have just been told that my MD is fighting my corner with her counterpart at the bank, and it’s now looking better.

Nice to see you getting some employer support for a change - and well done to your manager for fighting your cause. Keep us updated with progress and do try to remain positive as you have a very good case for a grievance.
