Just been dismissed - Advice please

[jonah35]

from what you have said you could potentially consider taking the employer to an employment tribunal because it sounds as if you should have had a verbal/written warning and not been sacked.

if you take them to a tribunal you could win and therefore can keep working in financial services, get compensation and have your good name cleared, it will be stressful but from what you are saying I think you could consider this.

however, if you are hiding anything then please let us know.

Unfortunately, you are wrong, if you read the full thread it emerges that they have got him on 2 count of gross miscondict

I was a financial adviser for 13 yrs (afpc qualified, ifa etc) and in the industry the rules are drummed in to you from day 1 along with ongoing CPD and getting CAS status so I have zero sympathy. To get binned on a gross misconduct you must have totally missed all the mandatory disclosure requirements and left you and your company open to potential mis-selling and compliances issues.

Sorry fella but lazy and complacent, as well as incompetent and non compliant, advisers are the reason the industry is so tied down and has such a bad name.

You sound like a salesman, not an adviser, and to go into a compliance related role is like a criminal becoming a policeman.
