have a friend who has recently been dismissed from her job could anyone tell me if she should have signed the minutes of her disciplinary hearing many thanks in anticipation
Usually that is the procedure, It is dependent on the companies policy but I have never heard of minutes where all parties present dont sign. Your friend should ask to review the minutes and sign at the bottom to say that she agrees with the facts. Even if it isnt company policy to get all signatures,they cant stop here from reviewing and countersigning in agreement.
Not quite sure what youre trying to ask here? If youre asking if the disciplinary hearing is at fault because she didn't sign a letter, then I doubt it. If she wants, she has the right to appeal, though if her reason is her not signing some minutes then I doubt if she'll get very far.
She can argue that the minutes are inaccurate and things have been added since the hearing finished but I think all this will lead to is another hearing. If your friend is looking for a way to get her job back or change her reference (and I know there is no mention of this in your question) then I can't see an angle here.
