I have Got A Disciplinary Meeting
Has your employer asked you to discuss allegations about your work performance or conduct?
This is called a disciplinary meeting.
Don’t attend alone
It’s important you don’t go to a disciplinary meeting alone; you are entitled to have a support person with you to support you, be a witness, take notes and assist in the discussion.
Support person
As a union member, your support person may be a delegate, organiser or Member Rights Team member. If you don’t have a delegate, contact us. Try and reschedule the meeting so that someone can attend with you.
What to Expect
Contact your support person as soon as possible
Ask your employer:
- what the meeting is about,
- when it is and
- who will be there.
Before the meeting, write down notes of what happened from your perspective.
Keep copies of any documents sent to you by your employer, including emails, letters and text messages and provide these to your support person before the meeting.
