It has come to the attention of Mole-In-The-Know from a deep source that a certain Council - not too distant from the molehill where this piece is being prepared - has acquired an interesting policy where sacked employees are concerned.Whenever taken to a tribunal - whether right (which it almost always is) or wrong - it ALWAYS settles the claim beforehand.
Is this a policy to save money in the long run - or is it just to avoid hassle for council employees?
Personally, I find it immoral - but then, the way such tribunals are conducted is already there!
I wonder how many other councils have a similar attitude? - More than a few, I'd guess!
