Thanks elpulpo. They have set out in this letter 6 situations, which he has already explained in the investigation meeting and has to explain again at the disiplinary hearing.

Thankyou for you advice papasmurf1 you have given us something to think about. As far as we can work out there are no time limits given in hubbies contract. For the investigation he was given a letter by his manager on the Monday and told he had to meet another manager on the Thursady to answer some questions. 8 days later and he has received the letter for the hearing.

Hi new here! Would appreciate some advice please. My husband was told there was to be an investigation into several areas which his manager had raised about his work and management of his team and his attitude to the manager. The 15 questions were asked by another manager with someone taking notes and he asked a colleague to be present. He had no knowledge of what he had done wrong prior to the investigation. He answered the questions to the best of his ability some of the issues dating back to the beginning of the year which he thought were long sorted out. He has now recieved a letter with a copy of the transcript of just 6 of the situations and a date for a disciplinary hearing giving him only 3 working days to prepare. He is starting to panic so should he just be concentrating on answering again the 6 situations and getting written back up from other staff or raise a grievance against his manager for his handling of the situation? Can he take typed notes into the hearing to suppport his answers? He is not a member of a union. Any suggestions please? many thanks
