• I need advice on unemployment appeal! HR lied about a no call no show...?

  My employer has a zero excuse 12 point attendance policy. I have a chronic health condition that I found out from my doctor should have been covered by FMLA the whole past year that I've been having issues, she brought up FMLA when I told her I was about to point out due to the condition. I didn't get covered until I was at 11 points.

  February comes and the artic vortex hit our area. On the morning of February 18 I went out to start my car for work and my battery was dead, I'm sure due to the subzero temperature. I immediately called work and let them know that I was going to be late and the reason, I figured I would be able to get a ride or a jump pretty quick. I was wrong, by 6:54 I knew I wasn't going to be able to get there by 7:30 (it's a 30 minute drive on good days and the roads were still pretty bad) so I called and left another voicemail as well as text my HR manager letting her know what happened and I understood that was my final point. She texted me back and said that she was 'sorry things didn't work out' and she 'wished me the best'. I filed for unemployment and received a letter from the state saying I was denied for 602-misconduct. My employer said that I was a no call no show on February 19, the day AFTER I pointed out! I sent in my appeal already, any advice going forward would be great! 

  And I was with the company for 10 years and made $65,000 yr.

• UK based question....Can my manager be fired for bullying?

  I am about to put in paperwork to ACAS for bullying and harassment at work which will lead to early conciliation, failing that I will then take the company to tribunal. I have a strong case where paperwork, evidence of my grievances and complaints not being dealt with and witness statements are concerned. I have also been advised I will definitely win my case whether the company settles at early conciliation or it is taken to tribunal.

  I was wondering, what happens to the managers that cause employees to take their companies to early conciliation or tribunal? The bullying and harassment was being done by a manager? Is there any reprimanding that is done or do the company just pay up and leave it there?

• Am I entitled to have the rates that the person I contract from charges their client?

  I'm an on demand Courier and I'm paid 50% of what the person I contract from charges. Am I entitled to have a copy of their rate card and know what they are charging their clients to make sure I'm receiving my 50% accurately.
