Thread: Which disclipinary guidelines should be followed?

1st allegation made in January 2009 in which I was suspended. I attended 2 x meetings in Feb 2009 - Advised case was closed and suspension lifted

Letter received dated 9th April stating "As you are aware we are involved in the on-going investigation" I was required to attend a meeting on 14th April. At the meeting 2 other allegations were brought to light in which the reports are dated 23rd March and 6th April

Further meetings took place, including a disciplinary meeting on the 12th June.

As first allegation was made prior to the 6th April and the letter sent on the 9th April classes this as an "on-going investigation" -which disciplinary guidelines do they need to follow?

Two other allegations reported to company prior to 6th April, however letter sent is dated 9th April - This letter mentions the on-going investigation and highlights the new allegations.

Ive spoken to Acas and they state that this is a grey area! Just wondered if anyone on here had any advice at all!

Since the disciplinary action itself started before the changes of April 6, the law before the 6th of April 2009 would apply. There are transitional arrangements.
