Appeal against Dismissal

To consider an appeal against dismissal under the City of York Council Disciplinary Procedure.

 

Minutes:

The Panel considered an appeal against dismissal under the City of York Council’s Disciplinary Procedure.

 

The hearing was attended by the Hearing Manager who presented the management case and an HR Advisor advising management. The appellant was in attendance at the hearing and was accompanied by their union representative. An HR Business Partner was also in attendance to provide HR advice to the Panel.

 

The Panel considered all the evidence provided in the agenda papers and verbally at the hearing by both parties.

 

Having considered all the available information, the Panel acknowledged that one allegation of gross misconduct had not been proven and dismissed this but agreed that the remaining allegations were serious enough to constitute Gross Misconduct. Having considered the mitigation presented on the appellant’s behalf, the Panel did not feel that there was sufficient mitigation to lessen the normal sanction of dismissal.

 

Resolved:  That the appeal not be upheld.

 

Reason:     The Panel felt that the decision taken by management to dismiss the appellant was reasonable, proportionate and appropriate given all the circumstances of the case.
