I think you will find it standard practice, but I don't suppose you will ever rise to the level of employing others.

 

i've been an ex-employee several times and have never had to be treated like that.

 

anyway, why do you equate success with employing people?

Whatever happened to the promised "whiter than white" Labour Government that Blair promised us in 1997?

There can be little doubt that the subsequent 13 years have given us the most corrupt government in living memory with MPs actively soliciting bribes to change policy. Even today a candidate had to be dismissed for his conduct on Twitter, and 3 Labour MPs still face criminal action over the expenses scandal.

 

The Racial Equality Council banned him using the phrase.

I employed about four hundred, and I never had to impose such treatment. Perhaps your earlier assertion was correct.

 

I suspect that you are just out of touch. It is standard advice from redundancy/dismissal information booklets.

 

ie

 

"Regardless of the notice period an employee is entitled to, you need to make a decision about how long you want them to hang around for.

 

As harsh as it might sound, some staff - particularly those with access to key customer data or other crucial records - will need to be escorted from the building immediately, to ensure those assets are protected."

 

 

And quite obviously many firms work to those guidelines.

It isn't the Conservative Party that have 3 MPs in the dock facing fraud charges.

 

It wasn't 3 Conservative MPs who were caught offering to change the law in exchange for being paid £5,000 per day.

 

Not this time, but give them 5 years back in power, and the Tories will quickly be up to their necks in it again - Hamilton, Archer and Aitken ring any bells?
