But I need an employment law solicitor/lawer urgently.

I'll go into details but can't be too specific as I am being monitored through my IP address.

In all my working life of 20 years plus and holding senior management positions within large corporates I am being taken through a disciplinary on Monday so I need urgent support/help. Having held senior positions of responsibilty I understand employment law to the enth degree however I need to be clear on the legal aspect and to vilify my thought process.

Having looked at ACAS and the GOVT website I am pretty sure I am on the right track however I need to clarify some key points. In all of my years I have never been taken through any capability or discipinary process, my slate is clean and I have worked for the most risk averse company in the world, so I have been taught properly about how to manage people.

I recently left through voluntary redundancy and left to join another large growing e commerce business as a senior manager. However during my stay I have been subject to many illegal processes and also a straight forward case of bullying and harrasment. Before anybody goes into the high ad mighty and for me to grow a pair it is not aimed at me directly but of others and threats have been made on an almost hourly event.

Anyways.

I am aware that laws dictate that the cas is weakened by the length of service and with me only being there for 4 months my case is week, however I am trying to help ther other 30 managers who work for me and the 200 plus that work for us.

There is

Regular bullying via email by the a head of department that regularly tells people thet will get sacked
Unlawful decuction of wages
Unlawful stoppage of the freedom of movement in recruitment policies which leads to descrimiantion of ex employees
Disproportionate sanctions given to people for failure
Lack of support for people on performance management processes
No documentation of interview processes
Not following their own policy for investigation prior to discilinary process or following the guidelines set by ACAS.

As you can see there are a number of failures. i never complain about work but I am against the clock, and I need the info to be able to open the can of worms prior to my hearing on Monday.

I am not after compenasation or sympathy. I have another job to go to, I am doing this because I feel an need to do this for the people I will leave behind, all of which have famailies and children to look after and I want to show the business that they are wrong and they are impacting peoples lives.

I started there because I thought I could make a difference, and I have, the people love the culture that I have created but alas I cannot stand for the cultire that powers that be push through the system. It is unfair, illegal and wrong on so many levels. If I was allowed to my job in the way that it should be the business and more importantly the people would benefit, we have already proven that because performance is up and attrition is down.

To clarify my position, I am being taken to disciplinary even though I have rewritten, Taining, Coaching, Performance Management, Communication strategy, Recruitment process, and improved performance by more that 10% in 3 months because one the the Managers that worked for me failed to fill a spreadsheet in whilst he was on Sickness absence. Additionally I have been 'fined' (which is illegal because only government operations can fine anybody) £250 for one of my teams failing to hot a KPI by 0.27% (a Target that is 60%). *This repeats each week BTW*. This is also a target that I am not officially targetted on or is my contract. The main gripe however is that this fine falls down to the people that work for me and us and they get a similar fine. I am fighting for them, not me. I have a good working background, I am employable, that isnt meant to be sound arrongant but it is easier for me to find work than the people I am fighting for, they have more to lose.

I'm really sorry for the long message, I'm clearly quite ate up by the situation but I will die on my sword for the people I have working for me and I want to make sure that I am not leading them up the garden path.

Thanks for any help offered.

Regards
