termination of employment?

Question

i have left my job because i was being picked on and left 2 weeks earlier than the 4 week notice period. without saying goodbye. can i get a reference.

Answer 1

you can try, but as they can't give a negative reference, all they have to say is that they are unable to give a reference for you. As has been said they could say that you resigned after x years, but left before working out your notice, both are just as good as giving a bad reference.

Answer 2

Maybe, but I doubt it. You do not say how long you were with your last employer, but if you were victimised, and had to leave because of this, in other words "picked on", then you may have a case for "?" dismissal.
Sorry I do not have the word I am looking for in place of the "?", but I think it is constructional

In other words, if you leave employment due to fault of the employer, you have rights to gain compensation, and clear your record, and hence get a reference for future employment.

Please seek advice from a solicitor, as you may have more issues to discuss.

Employers have a duty to ensure the well being and safety of all their employees, and it seems in your case this did not happen.

May I wish you all the best, and stick up for yourself, it can be difficult, but I have confidence you will sort out this problem and move on to better things.

Answer 3

Strategically, it may not be the best idea to get a telephone reference from this employer. They probably won't think that you are the most reliable employee - no matter what the reason why you left. They probably will not give you a terrific recommendation. On the other hand - you may have a case against the company for "picking" on you.

Answer 4

Employers can't say anything bad about you in a reference. They can highlight problems such as non attendance though. I think you can still get a reference, but it may be a mediocre one... Try talking to the person who was your manager. They might be understanding of your situation and agree to give a reference. Or tell your new employer what happened. They might be understanding too. Good luck :-)

Answer 5

the interest era would be particular on your written fact of words/settlement of employment, in case you have gained any of this. If no longer rights pertaining to to observe entitlement are contained in area 86 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and are summised as follows : as much as two years provider = a million weeks observe; 2 years plus provider = a million week for each 3 hundred and sixty 5 days of provider to a optimum of twelve weeks observe. those policies prepare the two to an organization wishing to supply observe to an worker and vice versa. As you have been with the organization for thirty years, you need to situation the optimum 12 weeks observe. communicate on your organization although and spot in the event that they're going to settle for much less, in case you the two at the same time agree it relatively is lessened to regardless of is acceptable between the two one in all you. If this is the direction you choose for to bypass down determine you get their settlement in writing to avert disputes afterward. i'm hoping this enables, will examine back in some days and in case you have any extra queries submit in greater information and that i visit do my maximum suitable to assist.

Answer 6

Exactly true. If I need to give a bad reference I can just say "I'd rather not talk about that person" I didn't give a bad reference, but the caller knows what I am saying.

Answer 7

I wouldn't even try. The only reference they can give you is "left prior to the date on his resignation letter."

Answer 8

I don't even know if I would list them. I am pretty sure they will have nothing good to say

Answer 9

I'll give you one....

Hey, stop laughting at the back! X D
