Is there still Rule of Law in Gibraltar?                          Is there corruption in the local police?

             Are employees' Human Rights protected?                          Is there a mafia in Gibraltar?

                        How corrupt are the Courts in Gibraltar?                                        Is Entain a bad employer?

somehow trusted her till now but that it was exactly she who wrote and sent me that email shocked me tremendously and shattered the very last bit of hope and confidence that a solution could still be possible. Danielle Wood ended her email with “we will expect you back on your next shift on the rota”, which I interpreted as the next shift on my rota after the mentioned five business days had ended on 7th May 2018 end of business day. According to the shift roster, that same day 27th April 2018 I was supposed to have started my shift at 10h00. As Danielle Wood's email was sent at 12h08 and did not mention at all that I did not show up for work that morning and I had not received a call from the customer service shift supervisors to ask why I had not shown up at the start of my shift, it confirmed to me that indeed my suspension had been extended for the duration I had requested. I continued to write like a madman on my timeline to support my appeal. That timeline eventually became this witness statement.

266. The email sent by Danielle Wood (CC Emma Horwood):
Bart
Thank you for letting us know of your intention to appeal against the outcome of the Grievance investigation process.
As you know you have 5 working days from receipt of the letter. These working days will therefore be today 27th April, Wednesday 2nd May, Thursday 3rd May, Friday 4th May and Monday 7th May. Therefore, we would expect your appeal in writing to Cecilia Malmgren, as outlined in your letter by close of business that day i.e. 6.00pm.
Please remember your appeal is specifically against the decision made and why you feel the suggested way forward is not viable.
I am attaching a copy of your signed employment contract (you kept the hard copy on your first week). I would draw your attention to clause 12 which details what you have agreed to in terms of the Grievance process. Clause 20 also outlines that you agree to abide by all company policies and procedures provided on the intranet.
The Gibraltar Harassment and Bullying Process (as detailed on the intranet) states that the complainant may be suspended on full pay while the investigation is being conducted. The investigation has taken place and an outcome has been delivered. Therefore, we will expect you back on your next shift on the rota.
I hope this addresses all your points.
Danielle Wood
