i have a problem at the moment, my mother in law has worked for me for 9 years, for the past 3 years i have picked her up and taken her to work due to the fact her husband changed jobs.
i have booked a holiday for july and asked her to catch the bus to work for this one week, the bus stop is right outside her house, and i also sorted out the times etc to catch the bus. her husband picks her up after work so its only one way, when i asked her to do this she went crazy and said no, she would have the week off herself, i said cannot as dont have enough staff to cover her leave aswell, ended up having hugh row and she walked out saying was disowning me my husband and grandkids, the next day i was due to pick her up to bring her to work, i refused as she had said wanted nothing more to do with me, she has not been in work since, i have sent letter to her asking if she intends to return to work, all she sent me was a letter asking for her contract. now im stuck because by rights i should dismiss her from being abscent from work and not informing me, but worried she will take me to court. spoke to acas they said its up to her to get herself to work but could try to go to court as might seem like i had a contract to pick her up, is there a limit as to if she doesnt inform me and i do nothing i can assume she has left or must i sack her? please help im desperate, by the way we have had many runnings with her in the past not the first time.
