if invited to a disciplinary hearing at work how much notice must i recieve ???

Answer 1

think the minimum amount of time is forty eight hours notice.

Answer 2

In the UK it is 48 hours or 2 working days (Minimum). This permits management to collect any evidence against you and it also allows you to put your case together and find someone who is willing to accompany you into the meeting, this can be a colleague or Trade union representative.
When you go into a disciplinary you are not automatically guilty, it is a forum for you and management to put the case forward with explanations from any other witnesses.
The meeting must then have a break to decide what measures management are going to take, if they do not have a break and find you guilty and tell you what your punishment will be then you can make a complaint.
You have the right to appeal which must be in writing within 5 working days of the meeting which must be chaired by either HR or higher management.
I hope this helps.

Answer 3

in case you quite believe that the disciplinary is grossly unjust and unwarranted. i.e you havn't performed what you're being accused of...and may want to teach it! Then sit down tight. if you're pushed aside and may want to teach the organisation incorrect then you quite can sue for unfair dismissal and get a load of dosh for your issues. If even with the indisputable fact that you're the style of individual who, quite, would not like the job and is continually bitching, moaning, and blaming anybody and each and every thing else for your individual ineptitude and look at were given ordinary about this disciplinary for a lengthy time period yet you do not have any further replaced your behaviour then you quite'd be extra perfect off resigning in case you imagine you may be sacked besides. then you quite do not get any adverse information on your paintings list.

Answer 4

Before the hearing you have to have a copy of your statement seven days before the hearing as part of policy and procedure in order for you to dicuss and amend it, if need be with your union rep, who should also have a copy. So you should have a weeks notice. Have you had a meeting to discuss the matter in hand with your manager and a witness who takes the minutes Hope you have got a union rep. Good luck.

Answer 5

You must be given AT LEAST 24 hours notice to be given time to prepare and arrange for someone to accompany you if you so choose.
An investigation should have been completed and all relating documentation sent to you within the same timescale to give time to read through the evidence.

Answer 6

It really depends on what is stated in your employee handbook/company guidelines because there is no specific time, just "reasonable notice".You should have time to get your head together and arrange any witness that you require etc. They can't just give you a couple of hours, thereby gaining an unfair advantage. Unless of course you want to have a case for a tribunal sometime in the future.........................

Answer 7

If the hearing is for you then they will make all the arrangements, but for gods sake turn up!!!! (or is that why you've got it in the first place?!! I'm the same, my timekeeping's s***!!!)

If your accompanying someone else then its up to you i think whether you wanna go or have got the time for it.

Can i ask? What exactly is it you've done? I'm intrigued now.

Answer 8

72 hours notice in writing........hope you have had a investigation first or they are breaking the law.......
Don't forget you have the right to be accompanied in a disciplinary

Answer 9

As long as it takes you to get to the office that is holding the hearing.
