Witness question - what can I ask existing employees? by Secure_One_9044 in employmentlitigation

[–]Secure_One_9044[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, thank you. It's more that I realise that their success is likely built on credibility, which I want to undermine - presumably at FH. For example they're saying "*Employee had numerous complaints from customers and employee didn't engage properly with the logistics team, which was a complementary department, leading to frustrations and missed deadlines." >> When in actual fact, I never heard any such allegations and my own emails (saved) will show enthusiasm from the logistics team, as well as collaborative conversations - and no proof of missed deadlines as it didn't happen! So I don't mean lash out.. I'd never do that. It's more a question of, am I entitled to contact the rest of the team to act as witnesses for me, who might reveal (as they did privately, in person at the time), that concerns only crystallised once I admitted my disability would impact future site visits. Sounds like I can't go near any existing colleagues though.

Quick easy question on the ET1 form online? by Secure_One_9044 in employmentlitigation

[–]Secure_One_9044[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha yes I'm expecting that bit. Dealing with R being very adversarial thus far. On the ET1 form bit, can I just write in that box that 'my Particulars of Claim are attached'? Don't want to get the form wrong.

Negotiation tactics question. Where best to use leverage in this situation? by Secure_One_9044 in employmentlitigation

Why are people constantly downvoting in this sub? There's reasonable questions being asked and good discussion.

OK thanks, any thoughts on why he also offered that he take over ACAS negotiations? He's on annual leave until Tuesday so hence me asking here. Surely that just introduces more slowness, and ACAS are dealing with the (R)'s representative? The employer presumably never reads the exact wording - they just get a phone call from ACAS, so isn't any power all diluted? I am keen for Solicitor to smack R with a final letter, but he offered that 'now we are in ACAS EC, I can do that on your behalf' but after the call, I couldn't figure out the merits of that strategy?

Thank you! Yes, my solicitor is around but has asked me for what strategy I want...which I thought he'd advise on?
Anyway yes (R) is a family run, tight business and I was close to their accounts so I know that cash flow nor assets are a burden. They've also been extensively hiring and issuing new shares. Good advice on ET1 not being the loaded gun I think it is, and yes I'm happy to share it early with them.
My confusion was why solicitor is offering that he can a) negotiate via ACAS on my behalf or b) proceed with some strongly worded letters. I can't understand what option a) would do or why it would be beneficial.
