10 of your contract again.
- You failed to appear for your shift on 2nd May 2018. I tried to call you but there was no answer and so I dropped you an email asking you to make contact.
- You failed to appear for your shift on 3rd May 2018. Again, I tried to call you and make contact via email and Skype for Business (as you had been showing as online) to check on your wellbeing and understand your intention with regard to attending work, but you did not respond.
- You finally responded on 4th May 2018 stating that you needed a lot of time to prepare your appeal. As you still seemed unclear around the appeal process/how suspension works, I responded to provide you with more clarity and again highlighted the fact your absence was unauthorised and that any continued absence would adversely affect your employment. At this point you also asked - You then failed to appear for your shifts on both 5th and 6th May 2018.
As per Clause 10.1 of your Employment Contract (which has been highlighted to you on more than one occasion) 3 days or more of unauthorised absence is grounds for gross misconduct which can lead to your dismissal without notice or pay in lieu of notice. Therefore, you have left us with not option but to invoke this clause and terminate your employment.
I hereby confirm that your final day with the business is 7th May 2018.
As you have been absent, you will receive no payment from 1st May 2018 until your termination date in accordance with the terms of your contract. You have been paid for 27th - 30th April 2018 in the April payroll along with your April salary but did not work these days, therefore as these should have been unpaid (as they were unauthorised absence), they will be deducted from your final payment.
With regards to holiday, you carried over 5 days annual leave from the 2017 year and as at 7th May 2018 you would have accrued 13 days for this year making a total allowance for 2018 so far of 18 days. Since 1st January 2018 you have taken 7 days meaning you have 11 days holiday outstanding which is owed to you.
Your final salary will look as follows:
[Table with calculations]
May I remind you that you have the right to appeal against this decision and any appeal should be made in writing within 5 working days of receipt of this letter to: Cecilia Malmgren, Head of HR Operations, GVC Services Ltd, Atlantic Suites, Gibraltar.
When you joined the company you signed a contract which contains a confidentiality
