You were only told of the job offer today? Do you have it in writing? A call usually precedes a letter to find out if you'd be minded to accept.
I wouldn't quit until signed contracts had been exchanged.
Thanks. It's a good point.I wouldn't quit until signed contracts had been exchanged.
They are sending something over to me via email now.

Thanks all.
Information duly noted.
I've actually had some good news in the last hour. I've been offered a new job.
I intend to make sure the loose ends of this are tied up and I will be reporting it to the police. I dont have to work with the woman much longer though.
When do you intend to report this assault to the police?Information duly noted.

Quick update.
Slapper is in disciplinary meeting at end of week. All I have been told is that she can't understand why I've made such an issue of it. She said I seemed fine after the slap. Wow!
Notice handed in. They dont want me to leave. Want me to come back for the odd session.
I said I couldn't work anymore with the slapper. Manager looked mortified when I said that.
Have a copy of grievance procedure. Awaiting disciplinary procedure.
Have asked for cctv footage to be retained and told manager I've been to the police. She looked a bit perplexed at this.
Told manager about my anxiety and how it's been affected. I dont think she understands.
Will know more on Friday. Slapper has been moved from shift tomorrow and my last supposed day with her is Monday. She will need to be moved from then to.
Will update when I know more.

An employee hitting anyone, colleague or customer, would be off the premises in a matter of minutes - and not allowed to return until HR process concluded.
Sorry but I'm in the 'this possibly didn't happen' camp. Apologies if I'm wrong, but simply what you've said doesn't add up - especially considering casinos are twitchier than most on complying with various regulations and employment law.

Whether there's a strand of truth running through, possibly, but he's obviously making stuff up/embellishing all over the place.Sorry but I'm in the 'this possibly didn't happen' camp.

In a well managed environment, yes. But there are plenty of crap managers and crap work environments.Sorry but I'm in the 'this possibly didn't happen' camp.

I note some posts suggesting that the assault allegation has to be taken as far as possible I disagree I prefer to use the word assault rather than slap.
A slap to me may be something that doesn't cause me much discomfort.
This is due to my rugged face which has been weathered by outside work. But if I had a more softer type face a slap may feel more like a punch. But I digress. the point is that assault is a fairer description.
An other point is that if the woman in question does get away with it this is not something that should become of concern to Funky. it is up to his workplace to deal with the woman. If the woman is involved in a sexual liason with the boss or is blackmailing him because of his fetsish for wearing silky womans undergarments under his trousers whilst at work it is of no concern.
The company should deal with the issue accordingly. If the woman goes on to further assault another 15 people it is not any responsibility of funkys. He has done his bit . He is moving on
