How long ia a resonable length of time to wait for a disciplinary meeting?

[Honey Monster]

Morning all

 

I was just wondering if there is any guidance on how long is considered 'resonable' before receiving a letter for a disciplinary meeting? I'm assuming it is basically however long my employer deems it to be but would like some confirmation.

 

The reason I ask is I received my letter today (34 days after returning to work after 2 periods of sickness in 6 months) with a date of the hearing which will then take it to 45 days since.my return.

 

Thanks for any help.

So its 11 days between receiving the letter and the actual meeting occurring?

i have been in that situation due to people being off sick i ended up having my bosses boss do it one time

Thats right. Making the meeting 45 days after I actually returned to work.

I dont think there is anything against it, however i would expect a reasonable amount of time to be within the 2 month period from when it became an issue.

I assumed that was the case. Thanks for the replies
