From 1 March 2009, employers who employ 19 or fewer employees will be able to employ new employees on a trial period of up to 90 calendar days.

An employee who is given notice of dismissal before the end of a trial period cannot raise a personal grievance on the grounds of unjustified dismissal. He or she may, however, raise a personal grievance on other grounds, such as discrimination or harassment or an unjustified action by the employer that disadvantaged the employee.

You may have a justifiable grievance on the way you were dismissed...???

1113991 2010-06-28 01:14:00 I suspect many people jump to conclusions based on their assumption of someone's age and hence demeanour, So he used the word "over" rather then "via" and everyone so inclined judged him .


Shame .

And, Under "over" in the dictionary


21 . via; by means of: He told me over the phone . I heard it over the radio .


Perhaps an apology is in order .

Cheers Metla, your posts always seem to cheer me up :)
Also I was not on a trial, and this BK employs more than 19 staff .

This manager has always had it in for me over something personal, everyone bar the RM believes this . He was basically waiting for me to do something wrong for an excuse to fire me .

Basically I was due my break at 5pm because we were understaffed . I finished work at 6 .
at 3 mins to 5 he instructed me to mop the full lobby which would have taken 30 mins .
I was still due 2 breaks by 5pm .
I complained about having to mop considering I still had 2 breaks entitled .
Manager had a fit .
I only received 1 of my 2 entitled breaks .

THIS is why i was fired VIA txt message .
He didn't even have the balls to ring me .

I agree with all of the first repliers.

Yes I am sorry Greacher you blew, it.

You are obviously young, so take the lesson on the chin and when you get another job, try to learn to be a good employee and follow the rules.

1113993 2010-06-28 01:23:00 Please don't tinker with semantics.
No problem with: "I heard it over the radio" "He told me over the phone" They are easy to understand because of the context and there are no obvious alternate interpretations.
"I was fired over a text message." Is not a clear context because there are alternate interpretations. I believe that a majority of readers of all ages would interpret that to mean "I was fired because of a text message."

1113994 2010-06-28 01:26:00 Sort it out, this is the real world. And if you do get paid out your holiday pay be grateful. I know in my job if you are fired you don't get a cent.

Are you in a permanent job or casual in which case you should be getting holiday pay as a separate item on each pay slip? Employers don't get to write all the rules.

Nope, It wasn't clear, But just about everyone interrupted it in the most negative way possible.

That is their issue, it reflects on them, not the thread starter.

All I asked was if it was illegal or legal. If everyone else was unsure as to what I meant then they should have said so to begin with, not assume the worse.

Thanks again for your support Metla

I hope you do, and that you're experience gets heard by the right people, Jumped up minor managers should not be left to make life miserable for anyone.

They only do it because they get away with it.
