him or her about it. this normally takes the form of letter.
  Allow the employee a face-to-face meeting to discuss the misconduct. The employer
must tell the employee that he or she is entitled to have a t________________ union
representative or some other witness present at that meeting.

 Allow the employee to a_________________ against the decision if he or she is

dismissed.

Employers must follow these rules. It is very dangerous to dismiss an employee on-the-

3. “You misunderstood me. When I offered him the money I meant it as a gift. I know that life
can be difficult for a young man on a police salary, especially if he has family, young children. It
isn’t easy and I know that. I just wanted to help. I didn’t expect him to do anything in return.

4. “I was walking my dog when I saw the gun lying on the ground. I picked it up. It was still
warm, and at that moment I saw the body lying in the grass. I went across to look and it was my
business partner. That’s when the police arrived…..
