Hi can any one help with this thread please? Still no letter from my company

No I haven't been asked to attend a displinary meeting as yet, only a investigation meeting, which goes on to decide whether a disiplinary should take place. I haven't heard back from the company yet as to whether or not this will progress to a disiplinary but if I had to lay money I would say it will given the fact my manager has twisted our conversation relating to bonus. Do you think asking me to attend a investigation meeting given my current state of health (i haven't just broken my arm here, I have seriously damaged my shoulder and cannot even get myself out of bed) How would I go about raising a grievance please? many thanks for your help

Thank you Honey Bee

Hi guys, I would be very grateful for any help on this please. Still nothing in post today either

Thanks for your reply. Do you think it's strange that I have not heard back from them since last week? Usually when they do a disiplinary they suspend the person straight away, but as I am off sick they might not do this?

I wonder if anybody can please help me??? I work as a field sales rep for a very large blue chip company. I have been with the company for four years. My first boss was good as gold. Then a new guy took over 18 months ago (he was a member of our team and was promoted) he got rid of three people in the first 6 months for one thing or another and took on his friends. He wasn't happen with my results and said he felt I hadn't been trained properly. He put me on performance management and said he would come out with me every week. This didnt happen. I heard no more about the Performance Management and I hadn't had a field visit for 3 months. (he is suppose to do at least one per month with each rep in the team) even though he wasn't happy with my results I have hit my bonus every year! Anyway in May he did an audit on my work. He only checked 3 out of the 11 visits I made. He said that I have made a lot of mistakes and had not carried out the work correctly. Two of the customers couldn't remember talking to me, the other remembered me well. He said he would take this further as I hadn't been filling out the computer correctly and there was hardly any evidence in call of my work. I explained I felt I hadn't received the training he promised and felt he was to blame for not spending time with me. I said if he felt I wasn't performing I would be happy to give my bonus back and why did I get a bonus if I didn't do my job properly. Anyway I was going on holiday the next day, so he wanted to carry out an inverstigation meeting to establish whether or not this should go to disiplinary. He said he would call me when I got back to arrange this. To top things off the letter I received from him also stated not only my work was poor and my results were incorrect, but also that I tried to bribe him not to tell the company about the audit and offered him my bonus in cash to keep it quiet!! This was complete rubbish as I said if he wasn't happy and didn't think I deserved my bonus I would give it back - I didn't mean to him, I meant the company! I came home from my holiday with dodgy tummy from a bug I picked up. I was signed off work for one month by the doctor. The company were not happy but decided to hold off the inverstigation meeting until I was fit to travel (my head office is a 260 mile round trip so no fun with sickness and diorrea) To top things off the following week I had an accident whilst off sick which resulted in me fracturing and dislocating my shoulder and humerus. I had to have an operation and had to stay in hospital. The fracture is very bad and I have been told I may have to have a shoulder replacement (The accident was only three weeks ago and I am bed bound whilst I write this) I received a letter from my company last week stating even though I am off sick, they feel I could still go to a investigation meeting which was sceduled for last tuesday. My mother wrote back on my behalf saying I was bed bound and obtained a letter from my surgeon stating I was not to move or travel for at least 6 weeks due to the extremely bad injury. They were not happy about this and an HR manager phoned my mum to said that they could come to my house. My mum explained that I could not even get dressed, put a top on without it being cut or go to the toilet on my own and I am in no state to attend a meeting but agreed to take me to a meeting the last week of august when it was safe and not putting my health at risk as per the consultants orders. I am also on high levels of Codiene for the pain and would not be able to defend myself at present as I am sleepy and confused if I try to concentrate for long periods. My mum also emailed over the scan of the letter from Surgeon and my x rays showing the fracture. The hospital said my injury is one of the worse they have ever seen. The HR lady said they were going ahead with the meeting anyway as I had been off for 5 weeks and that I should 'try and put something together to defend myself' even though I am off sick. She said the investigation has been going on long enough. I did not put anything together and I have not heard anything back from the company. (nearly a week?) My question is can they go ahead and do a displinary without me present or will they have to wait until I am better in person? If they do go ahead and dismiss me, is there grounds for unfair dismissal given that I couldn't attend an investigation meeting due to being bed bound (also have back up from my surgeon and GP) I would be very grateful for any advice. I am very upset and worried about all of this and have enough on my plate with my injury. Also is it strange I haven't heard back from them since Tuesday with a decison whether or not it will go to a displinary. Thanks for reading sorry its so long.
