Good for your OH; what a toxic work environment! Lots of luck in his job search, and (((hugs)) to you both!

the ex boss sounds like a real moron, well done to your OH for telling to stick it where the sun dont shine.

Good for him, there is no way he should take that from anyone, good luck with the job hunting...

A pat on the back to your OH Clair, no one should have to put up with that!

Good luck with the job hunting and every happiness to you both...

Thanx everyone

Paul put up with this A***hole for over a year and a half so I dont blame him for telling him where to stick it

The job centre have been really good about the whole situation, all we hope now is he finds another job soon

Well good for your OH but can I ask you to remindhim to keep the text and any other written "harrasment" he has. Also ask BT or your phone provider for a list of incoming calls. Or similar any answer machine or text messages being a pain the bum tell your OH to keep and any clocking sheets he has showing him being at work excessive hours.

Well, the jobcentre thought that it was interesting that Pauls 'contract' says he works upto 48 hours, but most his weekly wage slips say hes worked 65+ as thats what hes been doing, a few of them state hes worked 78 hours or more over a 5day period

Also he hasnt been paid over time for these extra hours, it was just expected of him, so if we cant prove the harrassment we'll have him for something

that will keep me smilling for a long time and good luck with finding a new job im glad someone stuck up to that bully

While its fresh in his mind get him to write down a log of remembered harrasment/bullying. And KEEP everything that has been sent especially Texts/emails/etc.

Of course I'm not familiar with employment law in the UK, but if he hasn't been paid overtime seems as if you would have a good case for back pay due, and that boss would be in trouble for violating the labor laws! Hang on to all the documentation!!
