The journey of every round

An employee on probation committed a serious act of misconduct. Do we still have to follow the ACAS code and offer a right of appeal before dismissing?

We dismissed an employee and they appealed. The appeal manager thinks the sanction was too harsh and wants to reinstate with a final written warning instead. Is this allowed?

We want to suspend an employee while we investigate an allegation of fraud. Does suspension prejudge the outcome and could it be challenged?

An employee has a final written warning that expires in two weeks. They commit a minor act of misconduct today. Can we use the active FWW when deciding sanction?

We dismissed an employee for sharing confidential pricing information with a competitor. They had no previous warnings. Was dismissal proportionate?

During the investigation the accused employee went off sick with stress. Can we put the disciplinary on hold indefinitely or do we have to continue?

We received a complaint that a manager bullied a junior employee. What does a fair investigation look like before we hold a disciplinary hearing?

An employee has been given a verbal warning, then a written warning over 18 months. They've now been late 12 times in the last 3 months. What are the steps before we can dismiss?

We started a disciplinary hearing but the employee's trade union rep can't attend until next week. Do we have to wait or can we go ahead?

An employee has been caught stealing from the till on CCTV. We want to dismiss them immediately. What procedure must we follow even for gross misconduct?
