What happens if an employee accepts the allegations against them at a disciplinary hearing or a disciplinary meeting?

• An employee should not accept the allegations made against them unless it is a very clear case.
• An employee should always seek legal advice regarding their specific matter and the consequences of accepting allegations made against them.
• An appropriate penalty may be imposed if the employee does decide to accept the allegations.
• The employee may be given an opportunity to offer any mitigating (reducing/excusing) factors that may lessen the penalty.
• The employee may also be informed of their right to appeal the decision and the procedure that must be followed.
• The employee will be provided with a written notice of the decision at the conclusion of the meeting.
