Do I have a right to a reason why my employers have told me to leave.

I have worked for my employers for 35 years. About 12 months ago other employees were getting phone calls at all times of night.
For some reason unknown to me they thought I was making them.
Suddenly I started getting these weird phone calls and I got them traced to an employee much more senior than me and the police were involved.
This other employee was taken to court and left the company.
This has caused friction in the company and my retirement date is in May.
I have been paid my full salary up till May and have it in writing my pension will start then and been told never to come onto the company premises again.
I have been told by a manager 15 employees thought I was making these phone calls.
I am now wanting a written reason why these 15 employees thought it was me and I also want it in writing that the phone call incident will not be mentioned if I ever wanted a reference for a future job which is very unlikely. Do I have any right to this.

Perhaps it would be more helpful to stick to the cor issue of whether dismissal (or not) occurred and not be continually side-tracked by the red-herring of slander.

Hi martin - very interesting to hear that, as the first threat made especially to older workers who are deemed to have rocked the boat in any way is regarding pension rights.
Just goes to show the gulf between what some organisations tell their workers, and what their workers legal rights are.

mosaic - yes...I am fuilly aware of the uk law of innocent until proven guilty - and that's my point.. the culprit has been found and dismissed... so why are they still treating the OP as though he has done something wrong?

obviously he is innocent of this so there must be some other reason why they want him gone...

not sure what point you were trying to make there...

if he has done nothing wrong, the only thing i can think is they dont like him for other reasons and are using this incident as an excuse...
