Counsel document not signed

Kellorna D.L

Hi to my community members.

This situation has recently crossed my desk. An Employee was called in to a meeting and presented with a document to review and sign. The issues in the document were discussed, however because she was in awe since she wasn't given prior notice of a meeting and didn't agree with the contents, she didn't sign. She rescinded her decision and asked for the document later on to sign and attach a rebuttal. She was refused the document and was told she was suppose to sign it then and there. Also she was told to hand in the rebuttal for review and it will be attached, which apparently she doesn't trust......this confuses me as I don't see it as best practice. Some thoughts please......

  • Hi Kellorna
    Cannot see any reason why an employee should be expected to sign anything they did not agree with but perhaps you could give more details of what the document was?

    Is it one that if she did sign then an attached rebuttal would be sufficient?

    Is the rebuttal aligned to the whole document or just part of it?

    Do think more info is needed before advice can be given in full.

    Thanks Sue. The document makes mention of absences and not comuunicating same. However, the Employee has never had an issue except for a week where her dad was ill and she did hospital visits. It also states that she did not communicate her late arrivals but to the contrary she has telephone records where she would have called in.
