Question:
"Is an employee entitled to be accompanied at a meeting at which an informal warning is to be given?"
HR tip:
No, provided there is no chance that a formal warning might be given. However, you would be wise to allow a companion if the employee is likely to find the interview difficult because of, for example, extreme nervousness, or poor understanding of English. This would be very much in your interest because you want the warning to be effective.
