What if the prospective employer sent out a comprehensive reference questionnaire, as many do, and the current employer decided to answer fully instead of sending out a template response.

Some questions might probe the candidate's absence and punctuality record as well as other aspects of their performance, and leave space for examples. So if the current employer decides to answer candidly e.g. "employee works well in a team,and although it wasn't a disciplinary matter, it was noticed on occasion that he joined meetings quite late and sometimes skipped important meetings without giving a valid explanation"

I don't see why the employer would be penalised by a tribunal if he has receipts e..g Teams records to back up his response.

Viruses:
The information I have provided is true, not false. It is well documented, none discriminatory and has verifiable evidence. Whether the company was fair in it's policy of not disciplining every employee post every single or recurring err is another thing.

Just so you know, the company could also have brought these things to the employee's notice, give them fair hearing etc and still mention them in references because doing those things does not invalidate what happened.

Zahra29:
Yes you can. As long as the information provided is fair and accurate, non-discriminatory, and can be backed up if needed, then it's up to the employer/company policy how much detail they provide. For example, you can choose to comment or answer questions on the employee's sickness or absence record.

Viruses:
I did not mean I will fabricate things against you. As an employer, I can easily pick up things I could ordinarily overlook and use it against you in referencing and it will be justifiable. You won't know you've committed certain blunders that I overlooked until you take me to court and I present evidence.

That aside, what do you mean by the bolded? Will the employee take over the company if he wins?

Viruses:
In Nigeria, you tribalise me I tribalise you, you discriminate me based on race I return the energy a hundred fold. But here, if you discriminate me racially, what will I do? I then become vulnerable and that is the difference.

And for the records, we are trying to fight tribalism in Nigeria.

deept:
Now that's taking everything to the extreme.

From your argument, i can say the government should give everything to whoever wants to claim any form of benefits at the expense of every other service it is supposed to render.

deept:
1.Social care should not be outsourced. The major winners are the private social care companies, property investors
So government should be the one running social care, right? Support workers, PAs etc - all of them should be hired by councils. And since you mention property investors, councils should be the ones building/managing care homes as well, right?

2.Families should be involved in care and not leave it 100% to government
What does this mean exactly? Do you think families are not involved in the status quo, and what does involvement mean to you? They should stay at home and be caregivers, right? So which family members should it be? Parents should retire and become carers when they birth children with disabilities? Elder siblings should do the same when they have younger siblings with disability?
What happens to those people's careers, life plans etc? Will they be paid at a rate commensurate with what they would be earning if they were, for instance, an investment banker in London before? Or would having a family member with a disability mean automatically that someone is doomed to the salary of a healthcare worker for life?

3.Disability should be dis-incentivized. Some people wear it as a badge of honor and it seems all these benefits encourage people to jump on the gravy train
How exactly should disability be disincentivized in your opinion? Again, you should check what people generally get paid, because it seems you're still letting your view be skewed by this one edge case.

4. Being disabled does not mean a person cant be productive, subject to the kind of disability they have and can be encouraged to contribute to the society rather than be a liability.
That's the status quo. Being disabled doesn't even automatically entitle people to benefits of any kind. There are thresholds and checks before a person begins to receive any kind of support.

You say this is an individual case, yes a few 10s or hundred people in a council but the impact that is having on council funds to effect its other functions. Besides I didnt say those not able to work shouldnt be supported, was responding to somone who said social care is helping the economy.
Robust economy?
I said robust economy in general terms. Whether any given economy is robust or not, supporting people with the ability to live properly must be a priority, or would you rather things be like they are in some countries where disabled people roll around on the street on wooden boards, half naked because they're too poor to buy clothes, holding plates in their hands and begging passerby for money to feed, because there's no support from the government to be had?

deept:
Benefit the economy? When funds that should be used for other services, build infrastructure and other productive ventures are being cut reducing the general quality of life. In the council I live they released a list of services that they are planning to cut eg. School hours, roads that will be gritted during winter snow, frequency of garbage collection, closing down public buildings, reducing the hours street lights will be on for amongst other essentials services not to add councils going bankrupt, laying off of staff and increasing taxes. This and others with their wider implications.

I am not against social care, etc but the money will eventually run out someday and taxes will continue to go up etc. plus a lot of these providers and users are gaming the system, making loads of money.

What I meant is that if you apply to enter the Schengen area using Greece, you'll get quicker dates for appointment but the catch is that you'll only be able to use the visa once or twice (Single or Double Entry to the Schengen area) and I'm sure you'll probably prefer multiple entries as you might want to visit other countries.

So if you want to get quicker dates using Greece as entry point and at the same time get multiple entries to visit as much Schengen countries as you want, you'll have to fully book and pay for holiday in three different Schengen countries (including Greece) which will be presented to the V.O to get a high chance of getting multiple entries.

Does the above help?

Hi, thought to share my experience as a 1st time schengen visa applicant even though it is a while back.
My family and I applied for a schengen visa (for france) in the 1st week of Dec with a paid ticket with travel date in April 24. Took about 1 week of meticulous checking for appointment but we were able to get dates on a wedbesday at 11.30pm for the middle of dec.
We got our passports back 1 week after with visa stickers.

I'd say, keep checking for availabilities especially towards midnight. Also, they seem to release dates in small blocks (rather than availability 2 - 3 months ahead).

Best wishes.

You’re the same person who typed that Tinubu post abi?

Thewritingnerd:
You seem to still not be getting the point despite people trying to make you see it in a measured manner, with some even skirting around the obvious folly unto say you be “respected” person on this platform. It is well.

You are here smiling and shunning teeth that Dey did not plan. Agba planner

dustydee:
I agree with Lexusgs430. It is inconceivable that the sponsors did not know that the exchange rate will be unstable. The sponsor can transfer her to one of the private universities in Nigeria to finish her education since exchange range disparity is the issue.
Again, planning is the key.

EzekielBams:
Thank you so much for the response. They have actually set up a profile for me. But the starting date is way too far for me. So just emailing them is alright?

hustla:
Please o

HMRC said I owe £120 and I have been trying to pay since but I am unable to pay on their platform. Sent them a msg and got this but it's a bit confusing, I think the letter was even sent to my old address

Due date is April and I thought they would be deducting it from my monthly pay but it appears I have to pay using a card or something

Lexusgs430:
If i was going to attend a university, I would ensure my funding is guaranteed, or I wouldn't bother.......

I wouid not hang it on a wing, prayer or GFM...... 😜

Lexusgs430:
Where would she get £10,500, within 24 hours (free)..... (Considering current GFM figure)..... B4 maths lecturer's attempt to correct me .......😜

If you FAIL to PLAN...... You PLAN to FAIL.......😁

Raalsalghul:
These are the kind of nonsense I am sorry to say you see black people (especially daft headed Nigerians) arguing about.

I see three unintelligent people in that gathering: the construction guy for not being able to empathize, the health care assistant guy allowing himself to be drawn into such an argument when the best line of action would be to ignore and lastly you for bringing such question here.

My reply is harsh and maybe unnecessary but it's the truth.

terrymason:
Halo.

How can I add a spouse to my skilled work visa?
I just switched from study visa to Skilled work visa.

I used an agent to help me switched. But for my spouse, I want to do it on my own without her attending biometrics.

Thanks!

Be careful when you tick locked garage etc etc ..... If vehicle is stolen at home and the insurance assessor checks your property and vehicle was parked on the road........

Anyone has American express referral link?

Or any other Credit card company with a limit of up to £5000- £10000

heroshark:
This is not entirely correct, changing employer does require you to apply for a new visa. You simply need to apply to update your visa.

Georgiedey:
Good afternoon and happy sunday all. Please i recently switched employer on skilled visa and need to apply for a new BRP. I have been checking online with no headway, i would greatly appreciate information on the steps or on how to apply. Thanks

Abeg has anyone here heard of making money on digitalinfoways? This people has been disturbing me that they got my contact from indeed and offering me remote work on digitalinfoways. Where it got tricky was when I made withdrawal for joining commission 😀 and then them advising me to deposit before qualifying for more commission/tasks.
Looks like a scam to me though.

EzekielBams:
Hello my people.
Please I have a question. My junior sister rented a shared apartment and sign a contract for 6 months. She has been staying there for 2 months plus and she found a better apartment close to her school. She called the landlord a Naija landlord that she wants to move out and she will get someone else to take over the room which the landlord agreed too. Now the problem is the person that took over the room has a cousin that they move in together. And other room mates are against that which they reported to the landlord in turn the landlord has asked the person to either tell the cousin to move out or they both move out. Now he called my sister and told her that she needs to move back in because he does not have the time to be looking for a new tenant which is not possible since she has gotten a new place and he also has been threatening her that she has to pay the next rent. My sister has messaged him that she informed him that she will be moving out and also forfeited her deposit on the house due to early move out. Please what can you guys advise as he is saying he will take legal action if he did not get the next rent payment on the 18th when the person that takes over the room moves out.
