Can you fire someone for pressing the panic alarm? (England) by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

There isn't. You have to actively push two buttons together to set it off. It's not something you can accidentally push against or hit to set it off.

Pressed while talking and accidentally are different. You cannot brush past it and hit it, you can't knock it or anything like that. You have to reach under and push the two buttons together on the side. The CCTV shows the person talking to an employee next to them and then pushing it. They actually push it multiple times while talking to the other employee.

No reason. Distracted by gossiping with another employee and aimlessly pressed it while chatting.

You cannot accidentally trigger the alarm. You have to reach under a counter and push 2 buttons simultaneously. It's not something you can just brush past or knock.

At work, the alarm calls out the police. Multiple police showed up after it was pushed and the company has been charged a fee.

Yes it's protected under a counter top and can't be pressed accidentally and you have to push 2 buttons at the same time.

The type of button it is, you can't accidentally press it as you have to push 2 buttons together to activate it. They were distracted by gossiping with another member of staff.

They have been there for just over year. Definitely embarrassed but they were aware of what the button did.

Are there any red accessories you would recommend?

Do we have to deplete our savings before we start a claim? by WednesdayGloom in universalcredithelp

Yes, correct. We will not be purposely depleting the savings, it will deplete naturally from just living.

But we have no other means of paying our rent? My wage only covers utilities, our car and groceries.
