Invited to disciplinary/fact finding meeting whilst on holiday

28 replies

I worked for a small care business on a fixed term contract - less that one year service.
The contract has been completed, all items returned and have thankfully finished my last day in the office but with accrued remaining holiday as agreed to be taken officially my last day is end of next week. I have been paid in full and have received my P45 etc.

Two days ago my ex boss decided she would summarily cancel my agreed annual leave but I highlighted that this was against the working time directive. I was getting on a Train at the time but was aware of the law in this area.
Instead she has now invited me to what looks to be a disciplinary meeting but she has skipped the investigation stage. The meeting does not regard fraud, bullying, dangerous actions etc etc.

The meeting I have been invited to will take place during my agreed week off work. I am on holiday in the Lake District right now and would be then.
I believe the disciplinary to be malicious and used with the intent to silence me from whistleblowing to the Press/regulators regarding widespread fraud and mismanagement in the company. This fraud is not supposed but backed by widespread evidence. There is sadly evidence of a long history of this person bullying employees and then calling them disgruntled to silence or rubbish and damage their careers.

Should I return from my holiday to attend? I was only informed today for a meeting early next week.
Any help accepted with thanks.

Would that suggest shes been paid in lew of leave, and therefore is no longer an employee at all?

Their point is I work there until the 5th - because these days off are my annual leave.
For me to attend I’d have to return from my holiday at the Lakes.
It is because she disagrees with me and wishes to apply pressure via disciplinary and bully me into silence. Sadly it isn’t a one off but she wasn’t part of my experience in the job until after my contract had ceased - then they wheeled her in to go through emails and try to build something to investigate.

I feel as though they had 9 mths to complain about me. Doing so post my last day in work seems beside the point and deliberately harassing.

They have so many investigations from external funders going on the need to keep staff quiet. Threats aren’t my current y of motivation.

Their point is irrelevant. When I was working my notice I used a month and a half of leave, went travelling in Europe and moved to Australia. I would r have turned up for any kind of meeting, I was on holiday. They’d have to lay criminal charges and the police apply to extradite Grin
