Employment disciplinary

blunder

My husband received his high-functioning autism diagnosis in June last year following a period in 2015 when he suffered from work-related stress.  An unsustainable workload led to further stress and a couple of wrong decisions by him at work and he was put through a disciplinary procedure which in turn led to his summary dismissal in October. His appeal is being heard on 16th January. Just wondering if anyone else has been through this or has even gone through the legal process all the way to a Tribunal?  Would welcome any feedback.  Thanks.

  • RA, thank you so much for your input which is really interesting.  I'm sorry you had to go through that experience 10 years ago and that you are better now.  Your writing indicates that you still feel pretty raw.  My poor husband will have to sit through an Appeal hearing on Monday and relive his own bad experiences whilst being grilled by an Appeal Chairman.  Fortunately we have secured the services of an excellent HR Consultant who will be representing him. My husband's Clinical Psycholgist has written a strong letter outlining the effect of autism on his day to day living.  We are very much hoping we will not have to go the legal route to an Employment Tribunal. We will report back as to how it goes.  Wish us luck!
