    Dont resign, just say you were doing many things at once and other colleagues were just standing there thats it. No point going on the sick as they will just dismiss you as you havent been there for more than two years, so just go give your side of the events.

    If you resign they can still give a reference saying you left whilst under a disciplinary. I think you are panicking way way too much. Also if the colleague see you do it then why didnt they do anything about it, just as culpable in my opinion but I wouldnt say that in a disciplinary, just apologise.
  • Firstly what is done, is done your biggest mistake was to trust colleagues in the work place( ppl act like ruthless, infantile, irrational and back stabby at work)

    You cannot change whay has been done but they cannot dismiss without due process(going through procedure otherwise unlawful dismissal comes into play)...also I don't buy into the whole "worked for the company under 2 years so they can do anything"...it's down to your contract with them and the probationary period(12 weeks)??

    Most likely in the disciplinary they will decide to retrain you in procedure and give some sort of warning(which will stay on your file for 6 months) & you can appeal any warnings

    And the company could've been sued but as long as they have public liability insurance and due diligence in place, the company should be fine

    Don't worry, it wont change anything

    Were you responsible for disposing of the food too? I understand your error at selling something that was 'out of sale' but surely whoever was responsible to make sure it was disposed when it should have been is has guilty?

    If it was you, then yes, it doesn't look good, but it really isn't the end of the world. It is a stressful time, but in the scheme of things, you will have moved on from this experience in years to come and something positive will come out of it, you will have learnt an important lesson.

    You really have no idea do you? If you're going to spout nonsense please do it elsewhere, on here you will be picked up for it and the result will not be pretty if you keep doing it.

    OP, ignore what this fool has to say.

    Absolute rubbish!

    It is really not helpful to those seeking advice to spout nonsense like this.

    End of the day, without reading the contracts it's very difficult to speculate although there is no point submitting your notice without finding out the outcome...also each company has its own disciplinary procedure so you need tospeak to your company's hr

    that's quite arrogant and rude tbh....each company has its own procedure in place and who knows if this particular incident is a dismissal

    Face facts ppl in a workplace will always(bar a few) will stabb you or try to score points, it's life

    If you have not worked for upto two years your rights are restricted with no chance of severance after dismissal etc

    It's best to see how the discipline procedure fir ypur company takes you as you just dont know what will happen

    It is incredibly rare for a contract to give a hard and fast entitlement to a particular laid down disciplinary procedure being followed.

    Even if it did and the firm failed to follow the procedure the maximum compensation this could lead to would be a few days pay i.e. however long it would have taken them to do it properly. Even then it would be necessary to make a claim for WRONGFUL dismissal. This would involve paying a significant fee which it is very unlikely the OP would get back even if he won.

    Apart from certain types of discrimination no claim for unfair dismissal can be made with less than two years service. Also there are no longer any statutory procedures. only guidelines, and no automatic penalties so there is absolutely no remedy available if the firm simply dismiss without any process at all.

    Providing they give a week's notice (or pay in lieu) and pay for any untaken holiday the OP would have no redress.
