Reschedule a disciplinary hearing where the employee's chosen companion is not available at the proposed time
Key points
The legislation specifically provides for the situation where the employee's chosen companion is not available at the date or time set by the employer for a disciplinary hearing.
The employer should reschedule the meeting to an alternative time proposed by the employee, provided that the alternative is reasonable and is within the timescale set out in the legislation.
