HR bods help. Disciplinary issue

quibs · October 3, 2013

Right, need some help from the trusted forumites with some advice and HR help.

Background

I'm an income officer chasing people to pay their rent. Recently got a new manager who is a pr**k. The day before I went on holiday his side kick sent me a spreadsheet via email with my arrears cases and action that needs to be done on them. Very next day I went on holiday for 3 weeks. This is in august and returned back to work day after bank holiday.

Been exactly 5 weeks this week since my return. On Tuesday I get called in by the said manager with HR member. Saying my accounts are not in line with policy. Some not all. Gave me 2 options. Said either take pay out, 2 months salary and 1 month in lieu. Or face disciplinary for negligence which could lead to gross misconduct with potential dismissal if found guilty.

Union have said seems being heavy handed. Can't go back to work until I make decision with deadline next Thursday.

There has also been a job advertised internally which I have applied for and got interview. But been told by that hr person that I can go for it but would still mean I face disciplinary for current role.

So, need some advice please.
