Possible unfair dismissal help.

Yes.

"In an employment or workplace context, you may want to make a DSAR to find out more about how you have been treated at work, to the extent that this has been addressed within data about you. For example, your situation at work may have been discussed in emails or meeting notes between your line manager and HR..."

Edit: Has his employment actually terminated now? Being sacked by text message seems "unauthodox", shall we say. Is his employer a company with formal employment and payment processes or a small trader? Was he on a fixed-term contract?

Brilliant advice TC, do you think its worth submitting a SAR to find out exactly what they have on file before taking any further.

Thanks as always

There are 2 ways you might be able to challenge your dismissal:

• appealing through your employer’s appeal process
• making a claim to an employment tribunal - if you have a genuine unfair dismissal claim and have worked for your employer for more than 2 years

Before you appeal to your employer, you need to think carefully about whether you really want your job back. For most people, finding a new job as quickly as possible is the best way to move on from being dismissed - read more about what you can do after you’ve been dismissed.

If you were dismissed for an 'automatically unfair' reason or you were discriminated against, you can make a claim to a tribunal no matter how long you’ve worked for your employer.

Good afternoon,
Hope everyone is keeping well.
I'm looking for some guidance with regards my son in law.
He has been working at a well known supermarket for 9 months, he has been working for contract cleaners to clean at this local store.
No problems with his attendance or quality of work.
As far as i understand it, he was sent a text message from his area manager to say he had to leave because his cleaning standards were not good enough, and that he made people feel uncomfortable.
From the information i have, he has never had any complaints with regards his cleaning, and no one has ever approached him to talk with him with regards to making people feel uncomfortable.
My feeling is that this seems a little unfair and needs a full explanation from his employer as to how and why this decision was made.
Would i be right in requesting a SAR from his employer to find out what they have on him.

Hope all this makes sense,
Thanks in advance for any advice

All the best
Steve
