18mth Serious Warning - Meaning?

[19times]

Hi all.

Please could someone explain exactly what this actually means and how does it stack up in the level of conduct code levels? Is it really bad or 'middle' punishment?

I have heard people getting 24mths suspended dismissels, take it that is the highest apart from the boot.

Anyone explain please?

Thanks.

In regards to the punishment levels that are available to management to impose in the conduct code an 18mth serious warning would be " middle punishment" and you can gauge the level of punishment by the level of authority of the issuing manager. In your case this punishment would have been given by a first line manager. What the punishment entails that you have 18 months to clear this serious warning provided you do not incur further disciplinary punishments in that period or there could be an increase in the levels of punishment.
However if this punishment of a serious warning of 18 mths is in relation to a previous post of yours concerning an RTA which you described as " minor" it then becomes a high level of punishment in relation to the circumstances as there is other punishments available within the RTA procedure that could have been utilised eg. driving reassessed, removed from driving duties for a designated period.
I answered your original posting on your RTA enquiry that there was a mutual agreement between RM and CWU that the conduct code would not be used as a mechanism in dealing with RTA and your award of a serious warning is baffling although I do not know the exact details of your RTA.
I am assuming that you were accompanied at your disciplinary meeting with a union rep and this award is to be challenged through the appeals procedure as my own thoughts that by applying this punishment by conduct code the agreement has been breached.

rehabron, thanks for all that I really do appreciate that reply.

Rep was baffled by the decision to be honest and I was like I will be appealing the punishment as that is what has been handed me which I completely disagree with.

Thanks again.
