In this episode of the Indicator HR and Employment Law podcast, we look at Wolf v Takame Fair Ltd, a case examining an employee’s statutory right to be accompanied at a disciplinary hearing.
The Employment Appeal Tribunal considered whether an employee could be deprived of this right when they were given no notice that a meeting was disciplinary and therefore did not request a companion.
We explore what the ruling means for employers, when the statutory right to be accompanied arises, and why following the Acas Code of Practice on disciplinary and grievance procedures remains important when managing disciplinary meetings and dismissals.
Listen now to understand the decision and the practical lessons for employers.
