Legal "workplace" question?
quick legal question here, if I (in theory)let my bosses know I was applying for a job in another fire brigade as courtesy, but I didn't get it in, then they said I couldn't have any further courses or training development for 2 years as i'd looked alsewhere , is that illegal?
cheers,
Andy

Hi Andy
When i worked for a very big company they said the same thing , if anyone was found to be looking for work anywhere else they wouldnt give them any training etc and we checked and it is legal for them to do this ,, if you think about it , its quite right ,,why should they invest in you if your going to leave ,,
Anyway where are the piccs

Again, it is true sadly. Also similar is my friend, who works for a large firm and is intending to leave to start his own business (doing the same thing but self employed) but since recieving specialist training from his firm, he cannot leave withing x ammount of years or has to pay a % back of the cost of the training....

I can see why its an issue with a normal employer, but in your case Andy I cant see as it matters, you'll still get payed by the same people so why should it matter to your brigade that you move on? only reason I can see them being pissed is becasue they are losing a trained and experienced FF, but surely you'd be replaced by someone of equal skill? I cant see them just leaving your role vacant
I thought they usually had more than one bloke trained to the same level for this reason, then a new lad can just take your FF role and the trained bloke can do what you did.
