Anything from dismissal to a warning .If he has had warnings before then it won't look good .One has to wonder why he didn't ask for time off to attend the funeral employers are generally pretty understanding when it comes to these things ...so was he realy at a funeral ? it would have been a better excuse than his car breaking down

verbal warning?

Re: disciplinaries in work

No real way of telling. Different employers have different methods, you'll just have to hope they go easy on you.

Re: disciplinaries in work
 

Um, each cases take different amounts of time, dependant on how serious the issue is really, I would look through the Disciplinary section of your employment contract just incase they try cutting corners :)

Re: disciplinaries in work
 

I'd say it's absent from work without permission - Appropriate punishment would be a Final written warning. Most severe is being dismissed. But the employer has to follow it's own disciplinary policies and procedures and not make rules up as it goes along. Otherwise, the employee could take employer to a tribunal and win on the grounds of unfair dismissal.

It has been known that Employers have had the book thrown at them at tribunals for not following their own policies and procedures.
