Working at barclays for a temp company, my perm contract came through, filled it all out, they wanted my grades but I lost them, so I guessed them off the top of my head, 8 month later 2 of my grades were wrong , they said I was lieing and released me, is this right cuz I'm fucked off

littleracer · 11th January 2010, 15:50

yups they have the right.
you lied,if you wasnt sure you shouldnt have put the down.
did you see the bit were you sign saying all this filled on the form is accurate and true as far as your concerned.you lied,take the consequances.

TomMartin · 11th January 2010, 15:59

yeah unfortunately you fu*ked yourself their mate. as said above you should have written that you had lost the grades then phoned the exam board or whatever. hopefully you'll find a new job soon

Claireeyy · 11th January 2010, 16:04

Why did they wait 8 months before checking your application? hmm but yeh you did lie on the application.

Jenson · 11th January 2010, 16:35

I already told them the exam board are sending the grades through the post, which arrived Friday, I didn't lie, was a mistake

McBain · 11th January 2010, 16:40

If companies are cutting back they'll take any reason. Mistake or lie they don't care. Bad luck mate.

LSOfreak · 11th January 2010, 16:40

they cant tell if its a lie or mistake

potatopete · 11th January 2010, 16:41

You shouldn't have guessed, cos you will have signed to say the info given was true and accurate, which it clearly wasn't.

Unfortunate but that's the way it is. Good luck finding something else, dude.

Accurate as far as he knows though surely?

and thats why he guessed the results and didnt do the right thing,leave it out,tell the employer hes waiting for the results and tell them when the results come.hes fault completey no ifs or buts why it took so long etc etc etc.

You should be able to appeal the descion. Ask them for there appeal procedure. Being that they offered you the job without asking about your grades I fail to see how they can sack you for it.

why the hell should he appeal,the company gave himn an aplication form which asks for accuratly details,he guessed the results because couldnt be arsed waiting......hes grades he gave could have qualified him for the job when infact when the company found out the true results,made him unqualified for the job.....gopdbye!

common sense really tbh,OP dont have a leg to stand on.

McBain · 11th January 2010, 16:57

Could still be worth appealing tho, even if is his fault. I'd imagine he needs the job, I'd try anything.

They pressured me to get the forms signed and done, so I got it done as quick as I could which cost me the job anyway

you still had 2 ways of getting round it.

tell them you need more time to get qualification results etc or tell them yopur handing in your aplication but the qualifications part is missing as your waiting for results as you lost yours or send a covering note detailing that.
that would be a responsible and mature thing to do.what youy did was decieve.wether you guessed or not or lied or whatever,its not accurate.

I wish people would think 'what if i was the employer and this same thing happened to me'

you own a business,take some one on because they were qualified on the application form,you then find out they guessed,lied or whatever,there was a discrepency between there application and what the correct results are.this made them unqualified for the job in hand.why would you keep them employed.in your eyes theyve lied or not bothered re checking the correct info for what they signed for,and there also a liabilty to yourself,the people they work around and also to the company!

CampDavid · 11th January 2010, 17:38

It wasn't an application form, it was a contract. If it's a contract they've offered him the job, they can't remove him for his grades after this as they didn't offer him the job based on the grades

Appeals process will be free as it will be internal.

Read the first post properly before spouting utter turd

KamRacing · 11th January 2010, 18:04

You should certainly appeal. This will allow you to state your side of the situation and you can explain the mistake and situation at the time.
If you really did tell them that you could not find your results then you need to say who you told and roughly when it happened, and what they told you to do.

Dude!

I'm 31 and remember my grades....

Most banks require certain minimum grades, if you happened to accidentally make out you had enough of the relevant grades and you didn't this is a breach of contract no?

Would it be that you didn't have 5x A-C grades so tried to blag it?

Jenson · 11th January 2010, 21:27

Right, they phoned me back 40 minutes later saying i can have my job back, and my grades were really good to be honest
