Bit of back ground, I did some internal invoicing incorrectly in september, got pulled up on it early october by my manager and the accoutant, rectified the issue (accoutant admits giving me wrong advise at the start) roll forward to november and another member of the accountant team calls me at work asking me to go over for a "chat" with him the following afternoon at 2pm. I arrive at his office to find him and a note taker there as its not a "chat" but an "interview" over what went wrong. we spend about about half an hour going through it and the procedures etc, at the end he says he would be in touch with his findings, I hear nothing more of it until exactly one month later when I summonsed by another manager and HR to a dispalinery review meeting over the matter. this time i was made aware of what it was about so went in with lots of information , evidence etc to back me up with what was said etc, the meeting was conducted by the manager and a note taker was present, all we went over was the same as the original investgation , at the end of the meeting I was asked if i had anything else to add, at this point I got out some pages from our own company disapline manual, one paragraph in question stood out to me 'THE COLLEAGUE MUST BE INFORMED OF THE RESULT OF THE INVESTIGATION WITHIN 5 DAYS OF THE COMPLETION OF THE INVESTIGATION. THEY MAY BE TOLD VERBALLY IN THE FIRST INSTANCE BUT THIS MUST BE FOLLOWED UP IN WRITING.' When I raised the question to the manager chairing the meeting he asked if my answers would of been different if I was told of the outcome with in five days, I replied they wouldnt as they are the facts. Now after the first meeting I heard nothing else until the request came to attned the disaplinery, I have approched my HR with the same question but they have yet to respond, my question is have they now realised they have shot them selves in the foot with a breach of policy?
