    You would need to follow company grievance procedures before claiming constructive dismissal.


    As a point of interest are you aware the statutory provision for the dispute resolution procedure is about to be repealed.

    For yourself, at this point, nothing. You should still follow the company procedure.

    Try and ensure you get an experienced officer to advise/ assist as dismissal may be being considered. I know it's a stressful time but try not to worry too much and try to remain focused. Write everything down and give your union as much information as possible trying to stick to fact rather than opinion.

    Good luck.

    Yes, i've seen it happen. You still have a statutory right to appeal the decision though.

    You will receive a letter inviting you to a disciplinary hearing, if you are unwell enough to attend you should let them know and request a new hearing date. Ultimately the employer can go ahead in your absence, if this happens i would expect your union rep to leave the room, you should subsequently receive the outcome of the disciplinary hearing by letter.

    If your workplace has union recognition I'd be extremely concerned if the employer is introducing new policies/ procedures unless they have been agreed through partnership working with the unions - this is something else to discuss with your rep as the employer may be by-passing consultative agreements.
