Thanks, there is no mention of anything regarding a formal investigation interview in the companies disciplinary procedures. I attended the interview as part of a yearly review, it was at this review that the interview suddenly became a formal investigation interview without any prior notification.

Is my line manager allowed to call me to a investigation interview without any prior notification of the meeting and it contents and possible outcomes?

I am due to attend a disciplinary interview next week in regards to some problems at work. These problems relate to stock items found within a work wastebin. An investigation was undertaken in regards to these items and I was called to and investigation interview without any prior notification. At this interview no evidence to support my employers was submitted, however I did admit to throwing some items away but at no time was I given an opportunity to state which Items I had thrown away. I am now due to attend a disciplinary meeting in regards to items I had no prior knowledge off. As part of this disciplinary procedure I have been given photographic evidence of items, and a brief investigation statement carried out by my line manager. These photographs are not of the items I admit to throwing away. In his investigation report, he reports conversation he had with my workmates whoever provides no written statements from these workmates. My line manager has had it in form ever since he came to our store a few months ago. His first conversation with me when he first joined was in regards to extending my probationary period beyond its stated term. I informed our HR department about this and other issues, ever since then he has obviously had it in for my, some of his tactics used are the constant changing of my rotas, often without any prior notification. Any advice would be much appreciated. Robin
