Conduct code help

[Mick1269]

Good morning
If there are any members with a good knowledge New Royal Mail Group Conduct Agreement could you PM me please. I'm going through a conduct case and I need some clarification around procedure, specifically..

The manager meets with the employee
to discuss the alleged incident and the
action they intend to take at this stage.
There are four potential outcomes following
the meeting with the employee:


• No action required and employee
returns to normal duty


• Further investigation required;
however the employee can continue
to work in their normal duty


• Further investigation required: the employee
should not work in their current role, however
they can undertake alternative work


• Further investigation required and given
the potential seriousness of the case, the
employee should be precautionary suspended.
This applies where, there is a high risk of
repetition and/or a serious risk to people,
property, mail or the good image of Royal
Mail Group if the employee returns to work


The manager should explain to the
employee their decision and advise
them in writing. Importantly, if the case
requires further investigation they should
know what the next steps will be and
when they will find out more details.'

What is the significance and importance of the last paragraph?


Thanks all

Assuming you mean the one I've quoted that paragraph applies to all of the potential outcomes and stages.

It's there to encourage full transparency of potential outcomes and timescales involved.
