Outcome of disciplinary meeting

[Viewfindergeneral]

As some may recall I attended a disciplinary meeting on Friday concerning two charges of gross misconduct against me. I was informed by the manager that he would consider his decision over the weekend. Therefore I was anticipating a definate decision by today. However, none has been forthcoming. As can be expected I'm not pleased about this as I want to be able to put this behind me one way or another. Is there a time limit to these things?

Also, I am right in thinking that once my case had been heard I.e. that the disciplinary meeting had taken place and I had answered the charges against me, that no other evidence can be produced (by either side) that can be used to in that particular case. It's really important that I have the definitive answers to this. Can anyone help please? To preserve anonymity, I can be contacted by PM in confidence if you prefer. I'm told that Big Daz might be a good source of advice.

To preserve anonymity, is there no rep in your office, Area rep in your area to discuss with?

I have taken advice from both but I need further opinions as I don't feel very confident in what I'm being told.

sounds a guilty man...... new evidence can be introduced at any time, employment law is different to criminal law, reasonable belief and double jeopardy are all in play...sorry

Read the conduct code ,app 6 The Disciplin Process ... Last but one paragraph it's in there mate , hope this helps

The conduct code which can be downloaded on here , clearly states in section 2 "guiding principles" that "when processing a case and new information indicating a different charge comes to light a new charge will be made. If evidence comes to light regarding the original charge e.g. its seriousness, the original case will continue". Regards when you get a descision from section 6 "the discipline process", its vague as the only reference to a time scale is "the earliest opportunity". Hope this helps....
