All
A person has been investigated for mis-use of e-mail. Anyway, to cut a long
story short...they were totally exonerated and no disciplinary action was
taken but felt counselling was required (which entailed a meeting with the
person just to say not to do it again). A letter basically consisting of
the above was sent to the person. Anyway, it was announced at the meeting
that a copy of the letter and investigatory report was held on file. The
person concerned feels that this is what happens when disciplinary action is
taken and feels unhappy about a letter/report remaining on file. He was
told that this was just in case a similar incident should happen and it
merely contained a copy of the result of the investigatiion i.e. that no
disciplinary action was to be taken. The person concerned feels that this
may be used in future should there be a similar incident - which is
unlikely.
My question is - is this correct procedure and if so, should there be a time
limit for removal of such information?
