hi, i'm looking for some information on employment rights/grievances etc but from the perspective of working for a composite company. I'm not sure who i should take up the problems with, the agency i do the work for, and with whom i have the problem, or the company i'm employed by and who manage the composite companies?? Neither are being very helpful at the moment so i'm looking for guidance elsewhere. thanks

Please provide more details so more focussed assistance can be given. What is the nature of the grievance?Comment

No, I'd guess if you're an employee of a composite company you get normal employment rights, though these might be reduced if you're also a director/large shareholder of the company. That's the limit of my knowledge.
Oh, hello by the way,

grievance
hi again, firstly it will probably be in the nature of constructive dismissal, or just general unacceptable treatment. Depends what i can do. I am both an employee and shareholder in the composite company, but the overseeing company are blanking me about it. So far anyway. I guess if they take quite a few contractors from the agency they are hardly likely to step on them for me. thanksComment

Your contract will give you some rights, both between you and the client and you and your employer. I assume you signed an opt out of the Behaviour of employment agencies act, if not you might have some claim for employee rights with the client and/or the agent.
Its difficult to advise on such slim detail.I am not qualified to give the above advice!

Secondly, and most importantly, you can only bring such claims against your employer and as that is your composite company (of which you are a joint owner) I'm guessing that is not your intention. To have any chance whatsoever, you will need to demonstrate that either the client or the agent has employment obligations towards you, and you probably don't want to do that either.
Just forget it and move on is my advice. Unless you can tell us what the exact problem and its details are, you won't get much more help here.Last edited by Lucifer Box; 14 July 2005, 15:06.Comment
