Is it illegal to be given a disciplinary letter one day, then suspend you 24 hours later?
8 Answers
Thursday evening I was given a letter advising me I have a disciplinary pending next week but I am ok to stay in work during the time leading up.
Yesterday (friday, 24 hours later exactly) They gave me a letter of suspension with no reason for one week with pay,
Is it illegal for them to say its ok for you to stay in work, then bang a suspension on out of the blue a day later when you was told you wasnt having one?

When one of my daughters was in HR,this was a few years back(but not that far).
She informed an employee of a disclipinary on the Friday.
He was still causing trouble in his department on the Monday,and so the scenario went like this:~
Monday 1st Written warning
Tuesday 2nd Writtten warning
Wednesday 3rd Written warning
and out of the door and goodbye.
At that time 24 hours had to pass between stages in the disciplinary/written warning stages.
Normally,verbal warnings have to be given prior to written warnings,BUT if the firm considers you have done something serious enough to require a suspension, then verbal warnings are not necessary.
So it looks as if the law may still be the same,so it also looks as if they are within the law,sorry.
