bit of a dilemma

Ok so this is kinda confusing i think!!

basically i was working in a hotel from last une until march of this year. just before xmas my hours started to dwindle from full time to one shift a week without being told why or without anyone letting me go. Then i was getting no hours atall for weeks at a time and then a shift here and there. So when you work in this hotel you get free into the nightclub connected so i was out one night and i walked up to the door and said my usual "one stff please" and the manager was doing the door and she said "your not staff anymore". so the next day i went in and requested my p45 because i'd been fired at the door while i was on a night out. I was given it and then i havent been back since.

now my question is: Is this grounds for unfair dismissal as she did it in front of a queue of people, security staff(who laughed might i add) and while i was out drinking???I also didn;t get any warnings and i wasn't given any reason i was just told i was sacked??

oh and can i add that they were still filing out dole slips for me weekly even while i wasnt getting hours!!

opinion guy

That seems pretty dodgy to me for several reasons:
a) unprofessional
b) NOT proper dismissal process
c) publicly embarassing
d) seems like bullying

I'd speak to a solicitor or free legal aid people if you can't afford a solicitor

i wouldnt be able to afford a solicitor so im looking into free legal aid at the moment. it was abck in april this happened so i dont know if i left it too long i was just scared of doign anything but people keep telling me it wasn't right???

opinion guy

Not right at all. you could probably nail them to the wall for hard cash for publicly embarassing you like that. it actually does sound like it had an effect on you.

it definitly did i was shamed out of it in front of my friends but most of all in front of everyone else in the queue plus my colleagues (the bouncers)
