Conduct code time frame

Hi, does anyone know the length of time between a conduct code alleged incident and the manager’s decision? I have just received a written warning for an alleged offence that happened on the 7th October 2019. From that date until the decision was 39 days. Thanks in advance.

Anyone with any rough ideas?

I would also be interested in knowing this, I rang Royal Mail first class chat and the lady I spoke to said conduct cases should be resolved within 28 days.

So whether or not this is true or untrue I am not sure and if it holds some sort of penalty or case points going in favour of the employe under investigation.

I have found it hard to find information regarding this.

Should be and must be are different things.
What if a witness was on annual leave for 3 weeks? It would lengthen the whole process.
I doubt if there are any hard and fast rules that would hold any water.

There is no exact timetable that x should be done within such and such a time table.

As with all things related to employment tribunals, the only requirement is that it should be done within a reasonable time, and any delays are down to reasonable causes.
