Thanks DX100uk I mentioned on one of my interogations that I was surprised that they were not password protected on one of our secure drives or in a folder named private, confidental or ***** eyes only but I did see the titles of the documents and it did state they were questions but I did not think they would open thought I would see the word password box. When they did open I took it that they were not the questions that were going to be used and they were questions that had been discarded

Thanks for the advice hanzo looks like I'll be going to the hearing and getting dismissed

Whilst under suspension can an employer refuse to accept my resignation

I now have a suspension letter. I have been suspended in with the Councils Disciplinary Procedure and the reason is to allow further investigations.it states that is not a disciplinary action and does not involve any pre judgement

I had received an alert from the companies anti virus software and the documents were on a laptop under a file name of personnel. Does admiting that I have accessed them bear any wait

The questions were technical questions

I have recently been interviewed for a new position in our company. I work in IT. Prior to the interview I saw the interview questions on another users machine. After the interview I was informed that an allegation had been made that I had sight of the questions and generic answers. I have admitted to the access and seeing the document. However I did not intentionally locate these documents I discovered them whilst carrying out my normal duties. Would this be deemed as Gross misconduct. I have been sent home from work
