To cut a long story short, a person was suspended from work and one of the rules about the suspension and investigation is he does not contact anyone from work.

However 2 weeks into his suspension he contacts a few of us and one person mentioned that to management. Work has now filed an added disciplinary charge against him with a recommendation of dismissal for breaking the rules of the disciplinary.

I’m trying to help the best I can, (even though im going through the grill at work myself)
Anyone know anything about this sort of thing? Can an employer enforce these rules?

So he contacted a few people from work on his own personal phone in the evening, to our personal phones?

I would understand if the police/court had enforced these restrictions.
 
it was not a case of ratting, more one persons big mouth and a keen brown nose manger.

the question that im struggling to find out.... can work enforce such rules
 
the msg was something along the line off...

"can't believe they said i accessed a database for personal use"

so it was about why he was suspended, just seems harsh that, now the investigating officer has recommended he be sacked for that, let alone the 1st charge that he accessed a database (i have no idea if he did or not)

Wait what? Someone got suspended from work because they 'accessed a database'???????????

Tell your mate to get some advice etc... but tbh... I think this is a wakeup call for all of you - your employer is **** - get your CV out there and find somewhere else.

if he did access it, or someone said he did then i would expect a suspension, its got very sensitive data on it. that's not the issue.

I'm just trying to work out if an employer can enforce that the said suspended employee does not contact people from work. thats the issue at the moment.
 
he's not part of a union, and its an internal disciplinary. Can't seem to find anything set in stone about it. i was hoping to find something that would help. Does seem harsh that they *may* be able to enforce that.
