A common problem for employers is what to do when an employee facing a disciplinary hearing raises a grievance either about the process itself or about one of the managers conducting it. Does the disciplinary have to be postponed while the grievance is dealt with? In truth, there is simply no rule one way or the other. The test is whether the employer has acted reasonably in choosing to dismiss the employee.
A recycling firm has been fined £12,000 and ordered to pay costs of £1,889.60 after one of its employees was injured whilst delivering waste metal.
The employee injured his hand when the counterbalance on a wheeled crane, used for unloading metal, hit the door of his van and caught his left hand. The 40 year old man lost the top of his thumb and suffered injury to his hand and arm in the incident.
