Some workers have taken on freelance gigs or legitimate second jobs.   However, other workers stepped over a line that many didn’t even realise existed - and ended up not just losing their job, but facing criminal charges and suspensions from the courts.

    Leave comments and questions here. If you would like a response, use our email: enquiries@employmentrightsonline.com Hi there So… another week … another set of workers who are challenging their employer about their employment status. And, this week, we look at why dozens of NHS delivery drivers are challenging their Royal Mail employer because they say their employer has categorised them as self employed, when everything about their jobs, says they are workers.  The issue at stake here, is the difference between receiving a guaranteed national minimum wage after deductions – and, being expected to cover all your costs as a self-employed driver, working alongside other Royal Mail drivers who are given a fairer status for their jobs.  Our FREE ‘WRITE IT DOWN’ Bullying Guide and Grievance Complaints Checklist are available here.  Use these guides to help you challenge unfair treatment at work.

    #307: When Management Feedback Turns Into Bullying: Understanding The Impact of Constant Criticism at Work!

    Leave comments and questions here. If you would like a response, use our email: enquiries@employmentrightsonline.com Hi there In this week’s episode, we’re looking at the impact of constant criticism at work and why this is a form of bullying, rather than you just having an over-zealous boss. We also talk about how you can tell the difference between genuine feedback, which should assist you and help you grow, as opposed to bullying feedback, which is intended to attack you and cause you harm. The nature of a bully at work, is to make you feel so ill and powerless – you hide the bullying and try to manage the impact of the bullying experience on you for a number of reasons. What the bully does not expect, is for you to take steps to challenge their bullying behaviour.  There is a FREE ‘WRITE IT DOWN’ Bullying Guide with this week’s podcast.
