Employer Disposing Of Employee's Personal Property
7 Answers
I bought a pair of Clarks £65 shoes to use for work as I am on my feet for 8 hours a day.
I have been off sick for 14 weeks and just went back today. In the time I've been off, my employer has "had a clear out" and thrown away my shoes without telling me.
The shoes were kept on the floor of the staff area, along with many others, by the lockers, not in my locker, as they make it smell.
I asked my employer about this today and was told "you'll have to buy some more."
If I took something belonging to my employer and disposed of it without asking, I would be sacked and prosecuted for theft. Why are they allowed to get away with this? My union rep says that because they weren't in my locker, I don't stand any chance.
Thank you for any advice.
