Final Written Warning but no letter

[Trackie3783]

Hi first time poster so I apologise if any of this is rambling or shouldn't be on here.

I've been with a company almost 4 years and in January I attended a meeting regarding absence. During this meeting my formal warning was raised to a final written warning for a period of 18 months. I was told I would receive a letter with details of how I can appeal the decision. I have never received such letter, and therefore any opportunity to appeal has now lapsed (I assume).

If I am not provided with my warning and the guidance on appealing is the warning still valid?

I recently had a further period of absence after suffering a late term miscarriage and received a call from HR to assure me that my employment was not at risk due to the circumstances. Unfortunately I am still suffering from physical effects of this (pain/infection). My GP has mentioned minor surgery and I'm concerned that time off for this would end with dismissal.

Thanks in advance.

I would suggest that in the first instance as you have an HR department send them an email and explain that you have never received the letter following the meeting in January in which you were given a final written warning and ask for them to send you a copy.

Would this have been something that you would have wanted to appeal?

As you will be covered under the Equality Act 2000 dismissal will be an unjust cause. As stated above speak to HR in advance.
