Hi,
I handed my notice in on monday to look after my autistc dd2 and gave a weeks notice, i was told this should be ok, got to work today to be told i have to work 5 weeks notice (a week for each year i have worked there), i got upset as i have planed to finish friday and to start working with dd at home with speech therapy. Anyway i was called to the office and then sacked , i was upset and crying, i told my boss that my little girl ment more to me than the job as it would for any mother, i was told to stop trying to get sympathy and leeve. I was then told i could'nt collect my things or say goodbye to anyone, by this time i was hysterical, they collected my things and marched me to my car
Since i have been home i have looked at my contract from 2005 which states i need to give 1 weeks notice if i have worked longer than a month, it also states that i need 3 writter warnings before they can sack me. I am unsure if i have signed anything else since being there but im sure if i did it would be with my other contract.
I only worked 25 hours a week but have been there for 5 years. Where do i stand, surely they cant treet people like this?
This is'nt the first time they have done it either.
