Watch he don't try to do you for unfair dismissal
No, that could get you in trouble, but may get away with saying he was late every day, never phoned in when off sick , crashed two tractors etc etc if it is true.Along the lines of “If you are thinking of giving Bloggs a berth, make sure that it’s a wide one.”
Maybe he's going for one of the immediate start truck driving jobs on offerSo why cant he just give notice? Is it that friggen hard to do??
Someone working in a farm shop asked boss for reference, went for interview with a big company and didn't get the job , poor timekeeping was mentioned in the reference and the big company said it was not allowed and it should be sorted. Cost the reference writer several grand to sort out of court.No, that could get you in trouble, but may get away with saying he was late every day, never phoned in when off sick , crashed two tractors etc etc if it is true.

Even if it's true you can't write a bad reference, you just don't write one
My advice would be be a man and work your notice like a decent employee may find the boss just says bugger off now if they are already on bad termsIts a boy that I work alongside that's on about doing it, not me

Could be right I'm no legal expert, but I know the man who paid up wouldn't have done if he'd had a leg to stand onNot so https://landaulaw.co.uk/faqs/can-your-employer-give-you-a-bad-reference/

A lot more I`d imagine, solicitor time £££ if they refuse to leave .A bit more complicated if they are in a tied cottage.
or X made an appearance, whether he actually did any work is arguable.You can just confirm X worked for you from such and such a date until such and such a date - that is all that is needed and is a simple statement of fact.
As I understand it, most modern references simply confirmed that employee x worked for you from (date) to (date) and had no disciplinaries in that time (unless they did, in which case you can name them if official).I think the rules say you cannot give a bad reference. You end up saying things like, "you will never know just how lucky you are to get this guy to work for you" you are not allowed to add "he never bloody well worked for me". Word gets around all the same.
Those days are over , at least they are if the employer does it legally, if not HMRC will jump on them.I’m amazed anyone’s on the books as I thought everyone was so called, Self Employed, these days .
£10/hr with no benefits. Isn’t this how the dairy industry works!
You’d think so, but plenty are at it and not just Ag. My nephew works for an electrical engineering company and all self employed. I only found out when he recently ruptured his Achilles and will be off for at least 3 months and said he’d got no sick pay or insurance cover .Those days are over , at least they are if the employer does it legally, if not HMRC will jump on them.
Probably illegal if they only work for one company , these days I`d have thought a sparks could dictate the terms?You’d think so, but plenty are at it and not just Ag.
