I would settle for "The Club will not be making a statement today" - anything is better than nothing!

In this example - rs won the appeal. Not for unfair dismissal, but that he hadn't fiddled his expenses.

You don't have to suspend someone. In the scenario I gave earlier today, someone can still come to work whilst being investigated. Slade wasn't suspended as Yeovil believed they had enough evidence to dismiss him and carried out the investigation whilst he was still turning up for work. They did follow due procedure but simply gave too much credence to their own investigation and not enough to the employee and made the wrong decision.

With regard to undertaking a specific task (or not as the case may be), the question would relate to:

Whether the task was in the role profile and how fundamental to the role is it
Whether they were undertaking the task or fronting the task
Whether the incident warranted serious disciplinary action or would it be a warning territory issue.

During the investigation you would expect to understand the actions leading up to and beyond the refusal to do the task.

So taking a leap forward and saying that the situation was not handling the retained list for example, then clearly that is a fundamental part of the role. But if the individual feels that they aren't responsible for the decisions or matters have occurred which make the carrying out of the task untenable then these would need to be investigated.

If this happened at amex for example, their policy in all cases is suspend while investigating. It is very possible a couple of our board members who have experience of amex may have made this point to Rose Read the clubs head of hr.
I would likely recommend suspension in this case, as a neutral act, to have them out the way whilst investigating. If there was a dispute with an individual that caused it, I would suspend them as well.

Thank you ROSM.
As the only thing that Gus has been reported to have done, refusing to implement the retained list, which one would assume he would have helped compile.
I was wondering if this alone could be the reason for the breach of contract and the current procedure.

Meeting's run long. We only confirmed on MONDAY that the meeting would go ahead Thursday.
What a silly reason to make him sound like an arse

Fact is he KNEW on Monday that he was attending his disciplinary TODAY, and was due in Manchester this evening. Only an idiot would think it was possible to do both in one day. Gus doesn't need any help looking like an arse tbh

Sackings usually always get announced on Fridays.......

Personally i would have LOVED it if Gus was appearing on MOTD tonight and we made a Statement sacking him not long before that went live.

Oh, the person who told me that around 5PM something would be said - is about to feel the wrath from me. You cant find anything decent out anymore !!
