Reinstatement after dismissal - what can I do ?

by **DI Burnside** @ Fri Mar 25, 2011 5:43 pm

So:

I employ bloke
Bloke turns out to be a lying cnut who winds everybody up, is aggressive, is type of cnut that belives nothing is his fault
cnut doesn't have a valid driving license, claims ignorance of uk law
Driving license is in essential criteria in jd/person spec
License shown at interview turns out to be invalid (yeah, mine/HR's fcuk up)
I invoke disciplinary policy
Panel meets, gives cnut 4 months to get a license
4 months pass, no license
Panel reconvenes 2 months later (still no license) and dismiss cnut
cnut appeals
New panel meets 2 months later and reinstate as cnut has a driving license now

Havd I got any legal recourse ?

No idea I'm afraid but that would piss me off, not being able to get rid of someone that useless.

I'm a little bit beyond pissed off.

Likwise the 5 other staff I have in the office.

should have been instantly dismissed the moment the lack of licence was noticed.
its the same as lying about qualifications.
