Paul, My wife is HR Manager for a FTSE100 corporation so this type of stuff is her 'bag' if you know what I mean. She's away on business till Friday pm but if you can wait till then so's I can show her your post then I'll get her view on it and U2U her advice on what rights your mate has and what the firm can and can't do under not only current law but also business ethics which do also play a part. Guido. |
