  • going up for gross misconduct ?

    as a supervisor ( at this moment )
    one month ago i was called into work as there was no supervisor / manager on at the time in my department.
    i asked an operator to remove his rubbish that he had all over the floor, i asked him in a normal ok manor, i was then subjected to foal language and refusel to do it, i told him calm down and see me in the office after having a break, he did not.
    when a manager finally came in i told him what happened, he taken a statement of me, then the operator and two other operators near by at the time, he suspended the operator.
    outside that night the manager said he admitted it in a one on one with me.
    now a month later i was called into HR with a manager from a different part of the plant to say what happened as it was the operators disaplinary. i told them what was on my statement and got told it didnt match up with the others, i told them it at the time was correct even though i was upset at the time.
    they said no one heard him swear ( more so keeping out of i thought )
    and that the operator had said I was picking on him and the witness i think have backed him up. that is a lie.
    HR quizzed me over how i handled people, and said they will ask around.
    they said something didnt add up with a witness statement, so they read that part to me, so it brought back memories of that night and said yes i remember him saying that , at which point HR said so you lied on your statement and it could be gross misconduct.
    they then said have i told anyone about what happened that night i said a few people have asked about and i told them as it was wild fire in work. they said you should not have said anything, i replied no one told me and i have had no training.
    know today i am not in work and the operator has told his friends i am getting done for lying on a statement, i know this through friends.
    some points : did he change his statement as he was in work for 3 weeks before his disciplinary? remember the manger said he admitted it in the first place! also how did the factory floor know before me as i am off for the weekend and not in till monday..
    i have no warnings and have had no complaints against me and no time off, just very good appraisals.
    hope you can help as i am upset and confused
