All employees are entitled to be accompanied to a meeting, that may result in disciplinary action (including dismissal) being taken against them, by either a colleague or Trade Union representative. Where the employer fails to allow the employee to be accompanied to a disciplinary meeting and they subsequently bring a claim in the Employment Tribunal, this failure in itself attracts a separate award of compensation.
