Mine didn't. Partly his own fault as he buried his head in the sand and hoped it would all go away. He had a senior position, and he was arrested at work and then told them a lie about why. It was in the media after sentencing, and his boss flipped as he'd lied to him and for what he'd done. He did speak to an employment solicitor after arrest but he'd already told the lie to his boss, but I also don't think they gave him effective advice. Just kept saying they needed to wait to see what happens and how the company reacts. Having read Lee's comment in the week about mediation with ACAS, I think if he'd been open with his boss and possibly with a mediator, he may have kept his job. But he had also realised that the job wasn't helping his stress levels, one of the reasons why he offended, and so didn't necessarily want to stay. But obviously the impact of conviction, SOR and being sacked for gross misconduct isn't great for finding another job.

Mine didn't

It was in his contract, he went quietly and was able to take retirement a few months later on his private pension.

He really misses chatting with people, he keeps himself busy with all those DIY jobs that never got done.

My person forced to resign from job during investigation (was in a position of trust). Not been sentenced yet but current contract is not in position of trust and has no disclosure requirements.

My husband has.

He works in a manual trade with no chance of interacting with under 18's. He made it clear to the authorities that his job is important to him and, luckily, no-one has forced him to share.

Mine was in a position of trust so destroyed that career and 'was let go' during RUI. He secured another job which he loved but as his custodial was unexpected I resigned on his behalf. He's determined to find work once released but I feel he's underestimating the challenges he's going to face.

Hi Chelsea,

My person resigned. He found a nights job in November last year after 18 months unemployed post sentencing. What information were you looking for? You're post sentencing too aren't you, apologies if I'm wrong on that xxx

My son didn't. He had a job job with a good carer ahead of him but was dismissed after sentencing.

Just wanted to add a positive one my partner was honest with them after arrest his boss has been supportive throughout even after it being in the local paper in the area where he works luckily no one had read it otherwise they'd of probably of had to let him go.

My person was dismissed whilst on bail. Two months after arrest. He's currently looking at going self employed so can work until this goes to court and we know the outcome

No, my ex was remanded and then got three years in prison.

My son lost is job,even before getting charged, as it was posted all over Facebook by vilantes

And is company said it was bad for company reputation

He then got another whist on rui

Once he got charged the solicitors advised to send email,he lost job again

As the solicitors said it will be in papers and Facebook after pre hearing, which it was not

He no unemployed waiting for court date

Hi,



My son lost his job as he had to move. His relationship ended and she didn't want him there .



He had to move a fair few miles to come and live with me.

Hi,



Can only sympathise about all the hurt and stress these actions cause us.

My OH had a good job, told his employer after arrest when court date was coming up, employer supported and went not guilty all the way, due to being intoxicated at time of alleged offense didn't help and was found guilty, tried to appeal no luck and extra time given as no early guilty plea reduction.

Due to possible problems for the company was dismissed in prison. Did 2.5 years out now and found a job within 3 months of release as no dbs asked for and luckily no news on Google etc of case. So if determined can find another job after all this but still stressful for him thinking employer may find out etc. Just need to worry if it happens and not think when it may happen.
