A Revealing Debate And Summary About Employment Law Dismissal Procedures
[mage lang="" source="flickr"]employment law dismissal procedures[/mage]
Disciplinary procedures in employment?
I as an employee fell down a customer's fire escape whilst delivering. As a result I was given a written warning for breaching Health and Safety rules for using the fire escape when I was advised 2 weeks previously by the customer that there was an indoor staircase I could have used. I have never had a verbal warning from my employer in the past. I have been told that if I breach H&S rules in the future, I will receive a final written warning. My question is a) is it employment law that a verbal warning should come first, and b) shouldn't warnings be spent after 12 months?
I feel as if I will be working in fear of another accident in the future being used as grounds for dismissal regardless of how far in the future this happens or the cause of it. Can anyone help me with my legal position please?
In most cases your employer must give you a verbal warning first but if the employer thinks that it is gross misconduct they can give you written or dismiss you traight away and as you had an accident while at work they saw that as a threat to them to hence why they jump for the written warning to cover them selves.
