+1 excellent post Darran.

Well from the business side of things it very much sounds like he's not worth keeping, perhaps you needed to address the water use age and speed at an earlier stage of his employment.

I occasionally drop off one of the lads if it's convenient but never pick up, part of being employed is to make your way to and from work it's all part of the 'effort' of having a job.

Not to shock you but perhaps your window cleaning job is not the be all, end all at whatever you pay be it min wage or more - dad may have a £40k plus job with pension and already used all holiday to look after his wife.

Look at it from his side, talk to him, get information about the family - make the best INFORMED decision you can. If it were the other way round would you not like your employer to be considerate at a time like this?

?
I got a message the night before.if it was a planned operation he must have known weeks before.if he didnt im sure a phonecall would have been better?
Why shouldnt his dads employer be understanding?
I have been on at him from day one about speed and water usage..

Your opening post does not mention it was planned how do you know it's not an emergency Op Or there was a cancelation my old man was called in with less than 12 hours notice for a heart op

How do you know his dad's employer isn't understanding? What does he do for a living?

And why are you letting him message you?  We insist on phone calls for sick and holiday bookings

Was this the guy who did leafleting for you?
How long has he been employed by you?

You say you've been "on at him from day one about speed and water usage"
That sounds highly constructive and morale boosting...
