Hi, I am asking for some advice on behalf of my sister (she is not good at this sort of thing and is now too embarrassed to follow up). About 3 years ago she was suspended from work WITHOUT pay pending an investigation by the police. a few months after she was informed that no action was being taken as there was no evidence to back up an allegation made against her. The matter was closed in the police side as far as I know. Anyway, my sister waited for her work to contact her with reference going back to carry on work. NOTHING. she spoke to members of staff she was good friends with and no-one knew anything but there was a lot going on with other members of staff now and other allegations where being thrown around by the managers (false ones too from what the general opinions where). Now almost three years down the line my sister is STILL waiting for her 'employer' to contact her and clear up the situation. I had finally got her to stop just chatting with staff and contact the employer. Following the 3rd letter off her and several telephone calls to the office without response I called the office twice to be told the boss was in a meeting but would be given a message to call me. No call to me over the next couple of days so I called him on his mobile. He was a bit niffed I think (understandably I guess) but he would not tell me anything at all about my sisters employment situation or status. He assured me he had written to my sister in response to her letter and that she should follow this letter up as soon as possible. NO LETTER. Today the letter arrived - this is the one he had sent out weeks ago in response to my sisters letters - saying she should contact him at the office to confirm her postal address so that he could send her more mail regarding the situation. He also commented on the telephone call from 'a man claiming to be her brother' he had received - odd how I spoke to him long after he had sent this letter!!! Anyway, she is now meant to ring him to confirm the postal address so he can contact her and progress the situation. Seems to me like a runaround is developing here. My sister is moving to Germany THIS WEEK to live with me and is not returning. We need the P45 etc... to allow a smooth transaction onto the German employment system. The employer has been informed verbally and by letter of the move to Germany but there has been no cooperation so far. Where does my sister stand? For 3 yrs she has been cashing in her saving to live off !!! Is this right or is there something fishy going on here ? I tried Citizens advice, job center, benefits office and tax office but it was like talking to a faulty bath sponge. The information soaked in but nothing came out. Please help as we are meant to be driving home to Germany this Friday. Thanks, Iain. By the way - I forgot to mention she has worked for this employer for 19 fault free years to the date of suspension!!! She has only missed a shift four or five times for any reason in this whole period. She is mid 40's now. She is an old people care assistant and worked nights full time. I want to go to tribunal over this. Can my sister give written consent to the employer that I can speak on her behalf to him about it? Thanks again for ANY help as soon as possible.
