investigatory meeting - some complaints not raised

tir21

If someone were called to a meeting to investigate complaints made about them by a coworker - would they have any right to see the complaint in full. Ie a copy of the written complaint?

If some parts of the complaint were ignored in the meeting could one ask what they were anyway?

Thanks

I once had to write a witness statement regarding another member of staff which eventually contributed to their dismissal. I was promised by my boss that the employee wouldn't be given any indication as to who wrote the statement. What did she do? She read the statement out in front of them, which had my name on the front :rotfl:

I want to say that they would show you what the whole complaint says as it's your business but then part of me thinks that they wouldn't if it made it clear who filed it by handwriting and circumstances mentioned

I know who raised the complaint anyway. They told me in the meeting

Ah okay, then I don't see why not. I'm guessing for it to be fair they need to hear your defence for all of it.

I would request to see it! If you do not know the full problem then how can you go about amending things?

Good luck

As above, you can't defend a case against you if the evidence is not disclosed

Is this progressing to a disciplinary hearing? At that stage you definitely should be sent copies of all evidence and that will include who is making the allegations. How can you give a full account if you don't know what has been said?

If you are a union member have you contacted them?

I dont have to defend myself on that point because the employer did not consider it a valid complaint

If still like to know what the complaint was though

I dont think it will go any further. If it doesnt would I have any right to see the element of the complaint that employer thought was invalid

I don't think they need tell you then, and it's probably best all round if they don't, though I understand your curiosity
