Employment Disciplinary Process Guidance
Summary
Lateness to a meeting should not lead to dismissal if the contract specifies it results in a warning. Repeated offenses or other factors might change this. Consult an employment lawyer for guidance. The employment relations act 2000 requires fair treatment and natural justice. Document interactions and consider discussing with hr or an employment advocate. If additional hours worked are unreasonable, document them and discuss with hr. Section 4 of the act requires good faith, meaning employers should investigate reasons for missed meetings.Full Conversation

If your contract states that lateness is a misconduct leading to a warning, dismissal should not typically occur solely for that reason.

Is it ok for an employer to say that even though the contract says its a misconduct. Or its a way of intimidating the employee
Case Rating: *
It's concerning if an employer threatens dismissal for lateness when the contract specifies it only leads to a warning. This could be seen as intimidation. Document interactions with your employer and seek advice from an employment lawyer about your rights and options.

What does its mean when the contract says the employers remuneration includes reasonable compensation for thier availability to perform all thier hours of work inc additional hours
Case Rating: *
When a contract states that the employer's remuneration includes reasonable compensation for their availability to perform all their hours of work, including additional hours, it generally means:
- Your salary covers not only your regular working hours but also any reasonable extra hours you may be required to work.
- Overtime may not be separately compensated if it falls within what's considered "reasonable."
If you feel the additional hours are excessive, you may want to discuss this with your employer or seek advice on employment rights.
