hi. I'm currently entering my fourth week of suspension from work whilst under investigation of having a patients personal belongings without permission to which I dispute.
I received a disciplinary letter on the 14/05/2020 that was written on the 11/05/2020 to attend a meeting but dated for the 14/03/2020. seeing as this was close to the weekend I intended to contact work the following Monday but another letter arrived on 18/05/2020 with the same written date but crossed out in biro and adjusted with pen. this gave me a meeting date of 18/03/2020 again I cannot attend a date 2 months in the past nor could I of attended if dated for the current month as it arrived after the time scheduled. Is this grounds for reasonable termination of the investigation due to time scale and being at fault on their part, I have not yet responded to work as im seeking advice as I think this is unfair, also I was banned form contacting any colleagues but it was not a bullying or harassment and I feel I could of gotten support form the staff in on the day I was accused. I feel this is a small part of a larger plan to terminate me form work due to illness I have and I am also payed less than my colleagues with no explanation given despite asking admin on several occasions. my illness is covered by the disability act so time off for treatment on medication should not count towards me being denied the same rate as my colleagues.
