HI Everyone
We've recently had a new Area Manager join our Team who appears to have a reasonable understanding of employment law. However she has requested that the investigative officer in a gross misconduct case place a witness statement within the evidential bundle. I have advised that this is not correct due to potential appeal bias. The officer could place a timeline of events found but as they were not a part of the 'witnessing' they should not.
Can you corroberate that I am correct.
Thanks Nic
