Disciplinary - when is an appeal hearing not an appeal hearing?
Ok hope some of you guys can help me with this one!
I recently had a disciplinary hearing ( after being suspended on full pay for one week) of which the result was summary dismissal,stating my employment was terminated from the date of decision. i used my rights and wrote to them stating i wished to appeal against this decision and was given a date of when (what i thought) the appeal meeting would take place. That was today. When i arrived for it i was informed that this would not actually be an appeal hearing but a re hearing (which was held by more senior staff than the original one).
So What is the difference between the two and am i still considered as an employee of the company even though they had made a desicion to dismiss me although now are re hearing the whole thing? If this is the case am i still considered to be suspended? I really am confused about what is going on!!
Re: Disciplinary - when is an appeal hearing not an appeal hearing?
A re-hearing is just that, a re-hearing.
Thus, if this is recorded in the minutes, then you still have an appeal. Today was merely a replay of last week.
The employer had something to gain. It was either to get you to say something new, or to attempt to correct some procedural irregularity with first hearing.

I am sorry that work means I don't get into the Employment Forum as often as I would like these days, but nonetheless I'll try to pop in when I can.
