sacking employee?
31 Answers
i will be sacking a girl who works for me on monday, lovely girl and all that but she just doesnt quite get it and after 6 months still doesnt know the basics that go with the job?
i understand she cant sue me for unfair dismissal as she has not been employed by me for 12 months, i am ahead with any holiday pay she is allowed as she has had 3 weeks off fully paid, i will be paying her for 2 more weeks while she is NOT required to work., but basicly i will be paying her to find a new job.
i cant be fairer than that can I?
have i missed anything?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Is it as simple as you say? That she literally doesn't know the price of a single, popular item after 6 months, or is that just a very simplistic example? If it really is that bad, then you've obviously got to let her go. But (and I have worked in shops!) there is nothing more annoying than items appearing with no price on them (without warning and without an EPOS till!)
You've obviously got to do the right thing for your business, but spare a thought for her and her future - could you have done anything differently? And how will she fare in future employment having been sacked (albeit for not knowing the price of a mars bar!)

no, we really are a very basic company that you really need a calculater to work out prices, there is a price list that you look at everyday.....in all fairness i dont really look at the price list because i know probably 95% of the prices on there?
i understand i own the company but if you looked at item "A" for 6 months and for those 6 months item "A" is �9.20 it really should sink in shouldnt it?

So then, you own the company and you don't know all the prices and folk have to look at the price list every day, is that correct? You're sacking someone and that'll mean recruiting someone else and getting them trained. It seems odd that you need a calculator to work out the totals, is there not a till? No EPOS and no til seems a poor waste of resources to me , what business do you run?
good point well raised TCL but the prices i dont know and have to use a calculator are for multiple items that sell by the metre or cube.
i dont need to spend thousands on a EPOS system when i dont really have a major use for one.
Are you going to tell me that every small business you visit has the set up of a multi national?

I used to work on a section that had hundreds of different forms but there were a fair few that we used all the time. I thought that I'd never get to grips wi them but one day it just seemed to click wi me.
