[QUOTE="Johnjoe13, post: 1393183, member: 360268"] Hi, all employers should have a procedure in place for disciplining their staff and you should ask them for this to maker sure they have followed this procedure to the letter, if they haven't then you may have a case against them should they dismiss you. Check out the links below which may help. Generally they have certain things in this procedure which are serious enough to warrant dismissal and so bypass the usual written warning and final warning etc, like if you hit someone or steal from them, that kind of stuff. So get this information and read it. You need to make sure that you have some representation or someone with you when you attend your hearing and even when they ask you in to talk about this, and you should not under any circumstances make any statement at that stage until you have taken some legal advice. Just ask them to give you written documentation or statement as to what it is they claim you have done that warrants the allegations of gross misconduct, you then need to take legal advice upon this before you respond. Most solicitors offer an initial free consultation for the first half to an hour, so find one that specialises in employment law who will be able to advise you on this. If you are letting your union get involved do not just accept the help of your local union rep or shop steward, get them to involve somebody that is a full time officer and if necessary tell them to contact the law firm that the union uses. Most unions retain a law firm for this purpose, I know mine does and I've even got an emergency help line that can put me directly in touch with their law firm. A long reply to your post but I hope it helps and good luck [URL]https://www.gov.uk/disciplinary-procedures-and-action-at-work/how-disciplinary-procedures-work[/URL] [URL]https://www.gov.uk/dismissal/unfair-and-constructive-dismissal[/URL] [/QUOTE]
