Legally do I have to sign a write up from my emplyeer?

[buildersmate]

A write-up of what?

[meximelt]

Are you for real? A write up, like you took to long on a break please sign here on this line and we will send to HR. And it will go in your file. A write up? Any lawyer would know what a write is.

Find another job.
Who would want to work somewhere you have measured lunch breaks.
With my job , sometimes it long other days short.

Are you for real? This is a public website answered by anyone who has the expertise or experience to answer & there aren't necessary any lawyers on here.

Most of us would call it a written warning, you could try ringing your local Citizens Advice Bureau, there are some other contacts on this link

You are very rude - a 'write up' isn't very descriptive - I have no idea what you are talking about either.

[Gok Wan]

What is a write up?

Yes we are for real. If you think that any lawyer will know what you are on about then maybe you should ask one.

I've never had a job where I have had to sign a statement saying that I took a break of however long.

[Rtaxron]

Good Answer CheekyChops and Gok Wan , never heard of it myself.

Never heard of an emplyeer either, sure you spelt it right? : - )

Are you from the UK?

[factor-fiction]

I've worked for 20 years in HR and as a manager and in a legal department working with employment lawyers... but I've never heard of a 'Write up'.

[Androcles]

Is it a wind up?

[bednobs]

grrr why do people suppose thye will get sensible answers if they start off aggessively. I also Have no idea what a write up is, but it dosent hurt to try and get more information in order to answer the question. But hey, if you dont want people gathering more info to you extraordinarily vague question maximelt, then dont expect anyone to answer

[buildersmate]

Well, the questioner was getting at me, but thanks all for your support, I had never heard of it either. My background experience is very similar to Factor30.
Pity I can't give you all some stars.

[buildersmate]

Indeed the business and financial website Answers.com says it is nothing to do with HR at all.

I also have similar experience to buildersmate and am a tribunal panel member and I've never heard of the term either. Sounds as though the firm is issuing illegal disciplinary notices?
