An employee who is subject to a disciplinary procedure is entitled to see written accounts of complaints before being asked to answer them
13 September 2011
The Employment Appeals Tribunal has found that where complaints are made against an employee, and that employee is thereby subjected to a disciplinary procedure, the employee is entitled to see the complaints before attending a meeting to discuss the allegations made. Failure to do so was a breach of the Employment Act 2002.
