any help please?

my husband was dismissed from work today. he will be appealing the decision, but as we have never done this before we dont know where to start, can anyone offer some advice?

Would you prefer they didn't bother?! Surely a further hearing is preferable to assuming the outcome of the previous appeal was negative?

I'd prefer it if they got their act together and actually did their job correctly. Instead they are dragging this out and acting like they are doing him a favour when he asks them to do what they are meant to. For all we know the original appeal went in his favour, God knows how many times they will 'loose' the outcome.

Yes obviously it would be preferable if the original appeal had been conducted and recorded properly, but as it wasn't, isn't hearing his appeal again better than the opposite?

Honestly I have no idea. the incident was nearly 4 months ago. The whole situation is draining him so badly.

i need more help!!
his company strung out the idea of doing a second appeal, cancelling the night b4 it was due to happen etc until husband just gave up. the whole thing was tearing him apart. he had found a new job and decided he had to concentrate on that instead. especially when the witness that was supporting him also got sacked!!
until 3 days ago...when the first appeal manager got in touch...he had been in an appeal of his own while he was in this process he was told he was not allowed to have any contact with any employee and if he was found to have done so it would jepordise his position...anyway..the company wrote to him about my husbands appeal asking the outcome and he replied as soon as his appeal was finished. so that he was being open and clear he decided to send the letter to my husband that he had also sent the company.
he had found in my husbands favor. he sited 6 points that he said meant to decision to dismiss my husband was wrong. and that he shouldn't have been sacked and he should have been immediately reinstated.
he had informed them of the decision while he was still working for the company..before he was dismissed.
the bastards lied. it seems like they didn't like his decision so decided to ignore it and just cause months of stress.
also he has been led to believe by correspondence that the company have now ''lost'' all the files regarding my hubbys sacking and appeal. including the cctv footage.
but now its too late, we cant go to tribunal as its been over 3 months so they are just going to get away with it.
a few people have said we should take legal advice with a view to suing them but i don't know if that's a possible course of action...could anyone tell me if its a possibility?
hubby has never wanted money, and could never go back to the company, but all he wanted was the guarantee of a decent reference and they wouldn't even give him that.

what a mess
and corrupt

total corruption. and husband wasnt even a manager or high paid or influential. just your average Jo working in a shop.
this has meant total havoc in our life. his mental health has been seriously affected. its caused hell in our marriage cause i wanted to push it further. he has now had to take a job which is 7grand a year less than he was on which is putting serious strain on our lives.

bump...any advice ?

Oh my goodness!

I actually have no idea.

Can the previous appeal manager PROVE he sent his decision to the company? Else it might sound like a disgruntled ex-employee trying to stir up trouble.

This is awful. Can you afford to pay for some initial legal advice? I really think you should try and at least find the money for one session.
