| First issue is, how long have you worked there? If less than a year, Employment law doesn't offer much protection. (Depending on the seniority of your position, though, your contract may afford you additional protection). Secondly, if a year +, check the terms of your contract. If driving is a requirement for your job, you may not be able to perform your duties properly and thus be unable to fulfill your contract. Thirdly, what is their discipline procedure? They should adhere to it. I agree with CK. In your position with a sprog on the way, a chat with the HR officer, if you have one, may diffuse the situation and get the employer feeling a bit more sympathetic towards you. If you want a recommendation for a good employment law firm, U2U me for details.
Good luck. |
