Sorry everyone, as you can imagine everything is going crazy and I am having a hard time with it all. To answer some questions: I believe I have been made a scapegoat so as to cover over the failings of the charity. The orginal thing I was accused of would have been gross misconduct, this has not be proven, mainly because it didn't happen. During the investigation, other stuff was discovered (apparently) and that is now what they are using to justify my dismissal. The outcome I want now, is compensation for the awful treatment they have put me through and frankly the total joke of an investigation they have run. I am still going to the charity commission. During this process I was requesting policies and guidelines, which have shown to me that the charity is not being run correctly. I sent a letter with all the details to the trustees but they have ignored me and like I said the next day apparently everything was completed and I've been sacked.

there has been an investigation against me at work over the last month. The investigation has been concluded and I received a Summary Dismissal this afternoon Problems: I was told the investigation would lead to a hearing, this has been bypassed and gone straight to dismissal. In the letter the name of the charity is not the correct name, not even a typo, totally the wrong name. I was told there was a second meeting going to happen and got asked to agree to a date. Then i complained about the person running the investigation and a day later no mention of the meeting and I'm sacked. I want the evidence against me as I believe it is total rubbish, that's why I wanted a hearing. Can I insist on this? What do I do about the letter with the wrong company name? Do I have ground for unfair Dismissal? I've been there less than two years and they were investigating me, but literally a day after I wrote a formal complaint against the CEO (person doing investigation) including the fact I was writing a report to the charity commission, I get sacked.

I work for a small charity in which I am the only paid employee. The only other staff on the charity is my boss, everyone else works as a volunteer. An issue has been raised regarding something I am alleged to have done. I went into work Monday morning three weeks ago to be told to go home and not come in until they told me otherwise. Then I get a letter a few days letter telling me I have been invited to an investigatory meeting about an allegation. I went to the meeting and got ambushed by my boss. I was told very little in the letter and in the meeting he threw a number of accusations at me. He has now sent me a suspension letter with number of spelling mistakes including the name of the charity spelt wrong. He is saying I have broken policies and guidelines which don't exist (or at least I've never bee shown or even knew existed). He is so out of his depth it's shocking, he is literally writing policies as we speak and sending them to me including the Disciplinary Procedure which he wrote a few weeks ago. I have worked there for less than 2 years so I don't really understand why he hasn't just sacked me if he is that bothered, but I feel he is trying to cover up his own short comings by blaming me. Do I wait till the hearing and then explain how biased and badly done the investigation is? The board of trustees are all his mates so I can't imagine I am going to keep my job (not that I want it know) but the accusations are really serious and I don't want this hanging over me.
