O! how come Mr Clark has any holiday time built up yet, he has not been in the job long enough to have more than a few days

 

 

I don't think that stricture applies to 'gardening leave', which tends to be invoked in circumstances such as these. At this rate, though, the Town Hall will need its own allotments.

You don't have to accrue "holiday time" any more in accordance with the EU Working Time Directives/thingymajig.

 

Errr I THINK the law states that if you have to give twice the amount of notice for the amount of holiday time required. So, if you want to take one day off, you give your employer two days' notice. An employer has to get back to you within the same time period but doesn't have to grant your leave but should really offer you alternative dates. Even if your employment contract states that you have to give a month's notice if you want to take a day's leave, an Employment Tribunal MAY deem that to be an unfair contract term if the contract goes against EU employment legislation.

(** mod edit - two very serious and libellous accusations removed - as you said over the page paulb, if you can't prove it, remove it - this is not the place for unproven speculation **)

 

Where can you see the complaint?

 

It seems paulb knows about it? I'm clearly behind the times?

 

Any links would be most welcome.

broadcast on sibc radio. not guilty my lord.

 

I assume if a news broadcaster makes the statement that he is under investigation for things that i won't repeat then you hope said broadcaster knew it to be correct. if we exclude all the local news because we don't personally have evidence we would end up with nothing to gossip about.

I have been reading the forums and local news for a few days now as I have been thinking about moving to Shetland (bit scared now!). Could the posts on this thread and local news coverage over the past few days not be summarised as:

 

1. New Chief Exec wished to reorganise his team

2. Failed Chief Exec candidate refused to be reorganised

3. Councillor who has not been supportive of Chief Exec rushes to support failed candidate

4. Same councillor makes so far unproved allegations about Chief Exec

5. More unproved allegations surface

 

If the police press charges and the other allegations are proved then obvviously the Council will deal with the Chief Exec appropriately. But if they are not, does anyone know if action will be taken against the councillor? Or if the most recent allegations are from the same councillor's camp? :?

Thanks, North, hadn't seen that. But if I moved to Shetland I think I would want to have a drink where and when I wanted too. And the council jobs are one place I would have been looking for employment. Bit scary if councillors are really looking over their employees shoulders like that - it's not like that on the mainland. But if Mr Clark had signed something saying he accepted he was expected not to socialise in pubs or drink anywhere but in his house when he accepted the job then obviously he has made a BIG mistake there.
