In April of last year I was made redundant from a company. In August the same year I was hired back in the same role (only more varied to work in more departments at the same time) but for 2,000 pounds less a year. They advised me I would have a 3month review and when the time came round I passed my review and got my usual payrise (which I had received at regular intervals before being made redundant when I worked there previously). Come my second review a further three months down the line I have been advised I cannot have my pay rise due to too many errors I have made, so I accepted this and was advised they will review my payrise in another month (instead of the usual three months). In the meantime after this review and before my reassessment of my review one month later I have looked into my errors and noticed that they are in fact incorrect and are not too many to be considered enough to not allow me my payrise (as per what they advised me in the declined three month review meeting). I decided it was best to talk to them regarding this when I had my reassesment one month later as they tend to get funny when you question anything they believe to be right, so saved this information until my reassessment which I had today. The outcome was that I have been advised my errors have gone up even more and they are going to have to start me off on the disciplinary course, just verbal for now. I explained my situation with the previous moths errors and they advised that the errors are correct as they were checked over may times by two managers and the same with this months errors. They advised they would not be willing to go over this months errors as they know they are correct but will look into the first months errors. They have started looking into these and advised I am likely to have the finish to my reassessment tomorrow as they needed to look over the first set of errors first, but I just really want to know where I stand tomorrow if they come back and say they have checked them (i.e. do they have to explain everything to me in full regarding the errors, this months and last months or can they just make me agreed without explaining? Also I just wanted to check the payment I am now on (being less) and not receiving my next applicable rise is also lawful for the company to do? Your help would be much appreciated as I am a lot younger than my managers and feel they know more on these points than I do and try to take advantage of this fact... Many Thanks
