Hi Guys, I recently had an illness which prevented me from working for almost four weeks. The start of the illness coincided with the Bank Holiday Easter Weekend. As a result of the holidays, I was unable to get a doctors certificate until the Thursday after the weekend, ten days after I first called in. In the meantime I had been in regular contact with my employer, e mails, phone calls, but come pay day I was docked ten days wages without any warning. The first I knrew about it was when I logged into my bank account to pay my bills. I have had a meeting with the manager who made the decision. He couldn't justify the deduction, nor the amount of time I was deducted (salary cut off date was less than the time deducted). My question is, legally, should I have been told of the forthcoming deduction? The meeting was very acrimonious due to the very distinct lack of apology and the threat to put an entry into my staff file, to which I would have no recourse. Future prospective managers would see the entry and make assumptions about me, ie, troublesome. (I'm not, but I do stick up for unfairness at work). If I wanted to see my staff file, would it be a SAR or an FOI request? Any help/suggestions would be very much appreciated Buncrana.
