According to the Birmingham Live newspaper, Rumbold worked at the Jaguar Land Rover factory located in the town of Castle Bromwich (England) for almost 20 years, but he was laid off in 2018 because the company lost thousands of pounds from the large amount of sick leave.
The company that builds high-end cars sacked Briton for “conduct and competition” reasons, but Rumbold did not like such decision despite the 808 absences and went to court where he alleged unfair dismissal.
The judges, after a long dispute between worker and JLR, ended up agreeing with Vic Rumbold at the conclusion that the company did not properly apply its so-called ‘Attendance Management Procedures’ and that “a stage in which they could consider dismissal had not been reasonably reached in that process,” indicates the same media.
The company, according to the ruling of the English justice, before firing him had to follow its own procedures and in that sense, warn him about his constant absences and that if the situation did not change, there would be a strong sanction. However, none of this happened, Birmingham Live notes.
Jon Carter, one of JLR’s managers, estimated that the cost of the 808 shifts or days that Rumbold took for health reasons, work-related injuries, and even an alleged attack, cost the auto giant £ 95,850. sterling (more than 446 million pesos).
Carter added that the employee furthermore, “I had not a single year, since 2000, with a full attendance record”.
In 2018, Rumbold had hip problems and was diagnosed with avascular necrosis, which caused chronic pain. Due to this illness, he could not work between March 12 and August 13, details the British newspaper.
Although Vic Rumbold has already won the legal suit against Jaguar Land Rover, the court still has not determined the compensation amount that the former employee should receive, Birmingham Live ends.
