Hi this is my 1st post and just looking for a little advise. I'm due to attend a a disciplinary hearing for alleged serious negligence regarding my work.now I've been stitched are like a kipper by my so called college's . My question is on the letter they have sent me it says.. Please not due to the seriousness of the allegations s against you you may be issued with a final written warning. So now they have said this and I have it in writing they can't go ahead and dismiss me?? I have no previous warnings on file either.i would just like your opinion has even tho letter states this I'm still a bait paranoid they will try and dismiss me

Re: Disciplinary hearing
Did they state gross misconduct/negligence in the letter, or serious misconduct/negligence. If the latter, then no they can not dismiss you as doing so would be unfair, unless they can prove the allegations amounted to gross misconduct under their disciplinary process! Though if during the disciplinary process they change it to gross misconduct, then that be a different matter!
There's a difference between serious misconduct and gross misconduct.

Re: Disciplinary hearing
No does not say gross misconduct. Does mention negligence and serious negligence but in different parts of the letter. And how could they change it to dismissal has I'm defending myself against a written warning has stated if letter. If they were to change it during the hearing to would be unfair?Comment

Re: Disciplinary hearing
If they found during the investigation that you had committed gross misconduct and had grounds to belief you had committed gross misconduct then yes they can change it and dismiss you.Originally posted by richard2399 View PostPlease note that this advice is given informally, without liability and without prejudice.

Re: Disciplinary hearing
Not necessarily, as depending on what is stated in the hearing, they may need to adjourn the hearing and investigate further and then hold another hearing meeting with you!Please note that this advice is given informally, without liability and without prejudice.
