    No you can't. You must give notice and a disciplinary can proceed during that period. If you are then disciplined or dismissed, that is what is on your employment record. And may be stated on references. Immediate termination can only be done with mutual consent, and even then, a reference can refer to this happening whilst under investigation. As long as the statement is truthful, the employer can refer to this matter.

      If you resigned 2 weeks ago, how long is your notice period? have they given you the date of the disciplinary hearing?

      I resigned under investigation and the disciplinary proceeded and was sacked about 3 weeks before the notice expired. If you were suspended from work then I assume you were making sure your CV was up to date and that your story was straight, ie how to explain a sacking to the next employer. If there was no stealing from the company and it was a mere breach of the rules then that's easier to explain. Always remember the words, if you are sacked, that there are no outstanding matters left to deal with(otherwise the new employer may think you are hiding pending legal action against you ).

        Not at all. But as is often the case, we haven't a lot to go on here, so we are guessing. I suppose the only thing that I could add is to remember that you need two years now to claim unfair dismissal - if you have gone off and got another job, whether or not the disciplinary gets held in time may not be the pertinent point. If the new employer finds out... or if you have misled them in any way... well, I don't need to spell it out. So leclerc is right - make sure you have your ducks in a row because resigning may not be the end of this.
