Explain the following terms in relation to discipline procedure: summary dismissal, unacceptable behaviour, suspension, criminal offences and representation. |
Summary dismissal- Acts which constitute gross misconduct are those resulting in serious breach of discipline. Unacceptable behaviour- unauthorised absence, misuse of company facilities, poor time keeping. Suspension- where you will not be allowed to work for a certain time period whilst investigations or hearings can take place. They may be asked to attend a hearing or meeting. Criminal offences- if you have been charged with a criminal offence. This will be looked into to decide whether the alleged offence is serious enough for dismissal. And will the offence make you unsuitable for their type of work. Representation- every individual has the right to be represented at each formal stage of the disciplinary procedure. The representative can be either a fellow employee or a trade union official, although no one is obligated to accept a request to represent someone. This includes investigation meetings, hearing and appeals whether they are full hearings or a review. |
