  • Representing a colleague in a disciplinary

    I have been asked to represent a colleague in a disciplinary hearing this friday. I have seen the documents, and allegations made.

    Firstly, The investigative officer wrote down the statement from a witness.On the document, the person making the statement signed and dated the document,there name and signature being on the left of the witness statement.The same document also says,"witness signature" to the right of the same document..This implies to me that there should have been a witness in the meeting with the person making the statement and the investigative officer.If there should be a witness but there was not, is that document invalid in a disciplinary?.

    Secondly the document says "You have admitted the allegations".Does that imply that the employee has said something along the lines of,"Yes the allegations against me are true".The employee told me today that they did not say they admitted the allegations against them.

    Lastly, the person taking the notes has made several errors and crossed them out.However,they have not been initialled.Does this render the document invalid?.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated in preparation for friday.

    Apart from the question of the admission, the above appear to be technicalities. Keep your eye on the main issues.

      To add to what dslippy has said can I just ask you to clarify what you mean as "representing" a colleague at the disciplinary hearing? It is a statutory requirement for someone to be accompanied to these meetings but not represented. Are their special circumstances that require the person to be represented?

        The company states that a colleague on a disciplinary has the right to be represented , i.e.,a work colleague or a union representative.

          The normal wording is right to be accompanied by a work colleague or union representative. Please make sure before you attend in this capacity you understand the boundaries of your role at the meeting.
