Appeal Against Dismissal - Employee SI
The Committee considered an appeal against dismissal submitted by employee SI. The Council's case was presented by JT, supported by SM. RB was called as a witness by the Council. The appellant was in attendance with her union representative, FL who presented her case. Having considered all the written evidence presented, the Committee: Resolved: That gross misconduct had been proven but it fell short of behaviour which justified dismissal. The Committee therefore imposed the lesser sanction of a Final Warning.
