Beetee your really sound like the usual loud mouth at a rdc waiting room
Good job I don’t do RDC crap then each to there own you don’t know me and ain’t likely to thank god because half the people on here think they are more than they actually are so on that note I’m done with this thread and to all those that want to have a pop crack on and il laugh at all you keyboard warriors[SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES]
beetee07:
if you want to try and be pedantic it is 13 weeks which is taken from the employment law book published by URTU so if you would like to take it up with there legal team I’m sure they will make mincemeat out of you and for your information I was a shop steward so I know what to do to find the things out that I need to.
Obviously you can’t take a bit of banter so I future I suggest you hit the ignore button.
I would prefer to take it from what the law says, rather than what some imaginary (or possibly out of date) URTU book is claimed to say. Section 1(2) of the Employment Law Act 1996 sets it out quite clearly - the written statement of particulars must be given no later than 2 months after the beginning of the employment. I leave it up to you to search out the actual text (hint: your imaginary brother in law can probably help you with this) (another hint: the previous hint was a bit of banter 
)

Ok time to confess thanks to all the people that bit.
To many to mention but I knew if I posted something stupid you’d all bite, it was getting boring with all the crap on here lately so though I’d see how many people would bite and you did with style.I haven’t laughed so much in a long while and just so you know I did show this to my brother in law who is a contract law solicitor and he thought it hilarious.
So thank you one and all for brightening things up.

Where’s the joke?

I think the joke is that someone has realised he’s been posting a load of utter ■■■■■■■■ masquerading as fact and has realised he’s wrong. Instead of bowing out gracefully, he’s pretending it was all a joke. It is quite funny, when you look at it like that.

What a plonker. 
I asked for a job, he paid for my training and I shook his hand that was 8 years ago I think that was my contract ?.

What a plonker.
If I’m such a plonker il take the time to explain the 13 weeks to you being as you don’t seem to understand it.
Say you go for a interview with one of the big company’s they say we will give you a start on a 3 month probationary period (12) weeks and you manage to do that period without cocking it up ( doubtful with most on here) week 13 a big brown envelop drops through the door or TM gives said envelop to you and says read and sign the top copy and return it and keep the other copy for your records you then have your contract of employment or statement of terms.
Having waded through the whole ‘bad reference’ fiasco I’m not sure where you are getting your info from beetee but as far as I can tell a written statement of employment needs to be presented within 2 months of employment commencing (not 13 weeks).
I have checked and verified this with my neighbours cousins best friends sister who has a friend of a friend who works at tribunals.
Also as I found some incorrect references to 13 weeks on the internet (I presume your brother in laws website ) I double checked it was within 2 months on the legal statute:
legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/199 … view=plain
(2) The statement may (subject to section 2(4)) be given in instalments and (whether or not given in instalments) shall be given not later than two months after the beginning of the employment.

If they have changed it I will stand corrected but ever since I started work (which was a long time ago) it’s always been 13 weeks to accommodate the 3 month probationary period.
Our of interest, does anyone know what the current record is for number of last posts in a thread by the same user are?!!
The maoster do please explain your pic
Muckaway:
I’ve not been given one and nor’ve most of my colleagues. Never had a letter confirming employment either. Has anyone else been with a company for a while and never had anything “official”?
Is this something to be concerned about?
Always carry mine with me,point out 50 hrs guaranteed,hgv driver not t.o cleaner,yard gardener/ weeder/ general dogsbody,point out these things,contract they do,no contract they do as they like,if give contract to them,only copy,not real one,never see it again

You say “the 3 month probationary period” - as if it is set down somewhere as a standard term. I have news for you - it is not. There is nothing in UK employment law that requires probationary periods of any length, let alone 3months. 3 months is commonly chosen but they are often 6 months, a year, two years, even longer. In many cases they are shorter or non-existent.
But why would the statement of terms need to be given after the probationary period (if any) anyway? I still have the statements from my most recent job changes and they were given to me within a week of starting work. They both mention the probationary period (3 months in both cases as it happens).
Does your URTU book shed any light on this?

The pic actually came out too large so the word “FAIL” at the bottom was obscured. The word and picture represented a particular poster on this thread for whom things haven’t gone quite as planned.
