Unfair dismissal
<p>Today i am posting not as a consumer but as a ex employee of the company Tile africa, as i do have some conserns of wich i need answers, i joined the company in july 2015 comeing from a store MGR post at spar, refrence checks was done on me and clearly i suited the post Tile africa had to offer, i only worked a month for this company when we had our first stock take and the company suffered a loss of 65k and 20k damages, this was captured on the system and nothing was done towards the store manager at that time, no verbal no written and obvious no final written warning was issued towards the managers at that time (fair). After stocktake things carried on as i was getting use to the way tile africa trained their store manager and me only being a warehouse mgr clearly did not have any say cause of the fact that i am still new... my store mgr at that time teached me all that i know today as the company offers induction of wich i never attended and they clearly felt that i do not need it, long story short,junie 2016 the store suffers yet again a loss this time of 200k and the store manager from that time was offered the option to resign as i found out that he was creating **** acounts and invoicing between stores in act to balance sheets, after all of this i was stil issued a final written warning without any form of hearing wich as acording to my knowledge is wrong even tho they new that the store manager done what he done, a final wriiten warning was left on the desk and needed to sign .in 2017 march i was then dismissed for not doing my job correctly but that was the way i was trained. And like i said the company felt that i do not need induction, i do also add that reasons i was dismissed for, does not state to be true as admin is one of the main reasons that i got dismissed, now for the part i want to get to, i do not play golf and the store manager apon the the first stocktake of 2015 did not receive any form of dissipline of the losses i found starting in the company and yet today still works in the company... further more i do add that we have been working without a sales manager for quite sometime and a full vacancies roles was devided between me and the store manager wich means some of my personal workload had to be moved into less important for me to able to do sales mgrs work aswell, so my question towards the company is simple, how do they determin the amount loss in 2015 to be non essencial for dissipline and even after prooving that i am loyal towards the company still get dismissed, and after my dissmisal a week later the warehouse gets closed down, this is more a personal reason as to my dissmisal as i figure the correct term that should have been used is retrencement the sum does not add up, i was dismissed for paperwork that was according to Tile Africa not signed, it took my 4 months but all proof is finally in my hands that all supplier invoices was signed and that offence on wich im dismissed proofs to be incorrect, i do add that i only showed to be loyal towards this company not even missing one day, i do also add that i used my personal car to collect stock from stores for customers of wish my branch did not have, i also add that incorrect pricing captured on the system also shows that whom ever is in the admin department of the head office clearly did not do their job as i do not think suppliers would change prices without notifying the H/O... so o took the company to the ccma and now goong in to arbtration but clever enough the company does not sign my release forms for my provident and i end up taking the provident company to Hello peter only finding out today that Tile africa took their time apon the signing of my papers 5 months later. I do understand that business is business but in the future do not dismiss enployees if the signes clearly show that its easier finding someone cheaper , also in the future stop taking people from strong companies if they do not have permanent post at your company because i can promise you that i would have been still employed by spar today and would have a job if i knew that my salary would proof to be a problem in Tile Africa, i do also add that i do have strong relations with most of your customers in the woodmead branch and never was any complain raised against me from any customer or supplier, i think the best would be to make sure the company trades perfect before dismissing people to cover yourself at directors, at the end customers seport the company not by means that you sell the best tiles but by the relations and service they do receive from us as employees, it was not part of my job to check up with customers houses to make sure tiling was done correct but because the way i built relations,i walked an extra mile for this company and the fact that i dont join your golf games should not be a reason why i receive no induction and a final wriiten warning as a first offence, i do add aswell even tho the branch had no petty cash it was my bank account that filled up a forklift that days for trading, i found out a store manager was hiding stock in 2016 i did indeed do what integrity states and because admin is not a strong point does not mean i could not do my job as most of your stores had admin yet another role we as store had to do while other had them... fyi centre managments opinion should proof to be valueble towards my case .</p>
