Cont. Redundancy whilst off sick

[jc35]

Further to my previous question, this person received a letter explaining a consultation meeting is to be held to regrettably discuss their role.This is strange because 2 weeks ago they were doing well and objectives were set for September, then because they have returned after two weeks on light duties have now been issued this letter. In the return to work meeting it was asked if they should really be here, that day and the day after the manager does not seem to be bothered what work is being done and not being done! Does this person have the right to be accompanied in this meeting, knowing what this company is like for making wrong decisions! It is also only 7 weeks away from this person having a years service. Please help.

Then this is a disciplinary hearing. The company wishes to discuss the circumstances surrounding the period(s) of absence. Normally no decision will be taken during the meeting but clearly it is an important meeting. Yes, this person has the right to be accompanied by a colleague (or a Union representative). They should expect to explain their side of the situation.
If this person has less than 12 months continuous service, they are not entitled to make a claim for unfair dismissal, and certainly not entitled to a redundancy payment (though I am very sure that this is not what the situation is about).
If you post further, it helps if you attach your posting as an answer to your previous question - not raise a new question.
