This would come under dismissal for health and safety reasons; and as such might well be exempt from the two year ban on unfair dismissal.

This is what I was going to say, it would seem that the call in process is to protect the guard, if he doesn't check in there should be a process for confirming that he is safe and sound. So given that a lot of safety legislation comes separate to employment law, it might be that trying to dismiss him for helping to highlight a safety issue may be problematic for the employer. I'd strongly recommend getting specialist legal advice. Check your house insurance, it may offer legal cover for employment matters, mine does.

Understandable but not helpful. He doesn't want to go to prison as well as lose his job!

Thanks guys - hadnt thought about it from a health and safety pov. Quite clearly they're annoyed because hubby's highlighted their lack of procedures.

Hubby had disciplinary investigation, apparently not being disciplined on the event that has occurred, but is being investigated because of his poor 'clerical management' in terms of time sheets etc because he made a mistake on one of the time sheets a month ago.

We're looking for other work and/or further training - hubby's never been a supervisor before and has had no support in this new role from his line manager.

A grievance will be made against the line manager, from the contracter as well as my husband

Sounds like the manager probably realised he was in the wrong and your husband had done everything he should... but after the fuss he made he had to find something for the disciplinary.

Yeh sounds like it doesn't it? He was originally going down this week to chat about the timesheets, that happened last Wednesday and all of a sudden it became a disciplinary. Weird eh?

I don't understand how they can discipline him on something that he's had no support for.

And btw scheming_gypsy your avatar is really creepy. lol
