Bang in an appeal ASAP there is a time limit which I believe is 3 months from dismissal. Get onto your rep and start the ball rolling.

Did you have a GP " fit note" to support your absence?

1) How long was you absent for?
2) Did you complete a self-certificate for your first 7 days of absence and then followed with a GP " fit note" ?
3) Did you receive in writing an invitation to attend meeting concerning your absence?
4) Did you remain in contact with manager while absent and set up contact details as required in attendance procedure?
5) Do you have a text/e-mail advising manager that you were ill and unable to attend meeting?

6.)Did they seek advice from Occupational Health as to whether you was in fact unable to attend on medical grounds.
7.) Did they not stress to you that they could telephone you instead of doing a face to face?
8.) Did they also not say you could if unable to attend send in written submissions.
9.) Did they not tell you that they could come to your address or another convenient address with you rep present.
etc etc.
I hope your Area rep is on the ball.

Was the "unauthorised absence" only to do with time off due to illness ?

[burtons]

thanks for the replies.unfortunatly I have not followed all the rules correctly so probabley no point appealing due to health issues at the time.

Don't give up, your case might have mitigating circumstances. Get your rep involved a file for appeal soon as.
