Help, accused of theft at work.

Good news that he still has his job

Why raise a grievance about the disciplinary rather than appeal? Seems illogical to me.

He should think carefully before raising other issues at the moment while he's on a warning (though it's important that he works in a safe environment so it's a tough call).

Hope it all works out for you in the end.

If I were you I'd keep the disciplinary separate from any other grievances; and keep H&S to the H&S committee and if you feel there is a need, report it to the HSE. The correct procedure to deal with a warning that you feel is unwarranted is to appeal it.

he doesn't want to appeal because it would mean going all through it again,



we are putting together a grievance, not just about the disciplinary but also covering several other things that have been brewing where they are behaving completely contrary to the health and safety laws.

Does he appreciate prosecuting a grievance will be more time consuming and stressful than appealing the disciplinary sanction?

Persoanally, I would go to appeal and consider the grounds for grievance.

I tend to agree. By getting the theft charge dropped and pressing on, the disciplinary which was eventually handed down was no more than a face saver. I suggest pressing on with an appeal now and regarding the written warning as an opportunity for management to climb down in 2 little steps rather than 1 big step.
