Answers:
grab your company handbook and look at the section of disciplinary action. that should explain it.
and then, grab a lawyer. it also depends on your actions, but he should speak to you about it on company property. if its not local to you, then your travel should be at the company's expense because you were unaware you were being investigated.
yes you can be suspended on a stage 3 disaplinary or final written warning.on the subject of meeting with you,you have got the right to know what the meeting is about before you attend also you have the right to take a union rep with you,dont let them tell you otherwise.thats all i can help you with sorry and i only know this from my own experience.dont let the ba*****s get you down.good luck.
Hi
I can assure you that the man has acted Illegally, First step
! The Government now demands, You must be informed in writing that he or she intends to discipline you and this my lead to dismissal. Also in the written document it must specify what you have done wrong.
also you must be given all the information the company have against you, and be given enough time to go through it be for any meeting. you have a right to hav ea Representative with you, do not be brow beaten..
You have a good case Good luck
Was this classed as gross misconduct? The company must have a policy so check the policy. Speak to ACAS on their helpline number which is on their web site. As to the advice from the Union this must be a serious offence for them to give that advice as usually they would rip this manager apart for the way he has conducted the meeting....
