Having looked at the policy... It would be the second line manager, however if they are not available the meeting must be heard by an alternative manager with the appropriate authority to dismiss.

DM2 level manager usually (or above) hears a level 3 conduct case. Depends on size of unit but it can be your DOM.

This is the way I believe it to be too. As long as they have been trained and approved to handle dismissals. Most line managers haven't, most doms have but even some of then haven't and have to call someone in from another office to do it.

Hey hun,
Go to DOWNLOADS on the board index.
NATIONAL ATTENDANCE PROCEDURE 2013
Click on link Attendance Agreement 2013.pdf

Scroll down to: Attendance - consideration of dismissal guide (written in blue)

You will find the information here. But also its worth pointing out to READ the WHOLE POLICY and gain some useful knowledge!
Exactly what I did recently after an unjust stage 1 warning was issued...

Hope this helps and good luck x
