Discipline - Return to work
Where an appeal against dismissal is upheld, the employee must be reinstated and returned to their previous job, if appropriate. The employee will be entitled to back pay and any annual leave they may have accrued between the dismissal and return to work dates. Consideration should be given to how the employee will be supported in returning to their workplace, what assistance they may need to pick up where they left, what support is available to them, what information is given to their work colleagues, confidentiality of any decision, etc.
The Appeal Panel may wish to make some recommendations regarding these issues.
