I've recently left a company who massively got the hump and decided they'd withhold expenses and accrued holiday, based on me not signing in on site.
I had, just at the front desk of the Tesco stores and not with the Builder's (as I wasn't there for the Main Contractor Works).
I have to wonder how they got copies of signing in books (legal document under the data protection act).
Anyway, applied for an Airside pass with the client we're working for at Heathrow and they've sent back a damning reference basically saying I'm dishonest. Which has put a spanner in the works. Now, I'm pretty sure this is considered libel as they proved nothing, the letter stating their reasons was found to have more holes than a colander by a solicitor and as above, I thought they had to decline rather than give a bad reference.
I'm absolutely f*cking fuming, as are my employer's as they've not only dirtied my reputation but the company's with this client.
