An investigation into possible minor misconduct gone on for over 13 months since the incident was first reported. No disciplinary action has been taken and employee has continued to operate as normal during this period.
There has to be some legal principles involved such as condoning the actions by management, and unreasonable delay on the person's health.
There has to be a legal right to a fair trial and procedural fairness as I think this constitutes cruelty and punishment towards the person alleged to have breached the code.
Fair enough if it was a complicated or sting operation but for something relative straight forward where there was only 1 instance or tangible evidence provided (I cannot elaborate) it should not take 13 months to respond especially when it is a grey area.
I think it sounds like a witch hunt or muck raking exercise?
