Thnx if anyone can explain :)

conduct code = disciplinary code basically

1 year serious = 1 year suspended dismissal basically on final warning for basically anything for 1 year

in my experience lower grade managers can issue 1 year reprimand or a 2 year serious warning. managers who have been dismissal trained can dosh out suspended dismissal or dismissal punishments. the 1st 2 should be a walk in the park if you don't transgress again. after that your on a tightrope.

As you have not given the circumstances in relation to your disciplinary hearing does your confirmation letter state " 1 year serious"
Serious warnings normally are from 2 years to 5 years on your record dependant on the degree of gross misconduct and are sometimes accompanied by a further additional penalty eg. suspension without pay 1-3 days, disciplinary transfer to another job within the managers area of authority.
Reprimands and serious warnings lies with the immediate manager unless he/she feels that the punishment is outwith his/her authority level and is passed up to a higher level of authority for a decision.
So someone with a serious warning of 2 years on their record has been given that time to clear their record but you are being given 1 year to clear your record.

i,m not sure if the 1 year serious is cleared after expiry or not.i,m not sure if they can still look back say in 5 years time and see this offence.

I'm in a similar position as yourself at the moment,mine is for saying is this a f*****g joke to my manager when I advised we were going to have to cut off. What is it that your meant to have done as you don't mention this in your post.

How do "warnings" fit into this?

Do 2 warnings = a serious? can warnings even convert into a dismissal?

Have had these flying around the office like the DIM's getting bonus payments for them! :(
