hi
i got a disciplinary action telling me that my pay is deducted for one day+ it also says following a oral warning you are now geting this letter.
the worst thing is i signed the letter and need to know if i can do something about it because i think they are wrong.

What grounds does your employer have?
loosing 1 days pay isn't that bad though - what was the disciplinary for?! (-if you wanna say?)
If you worked that day, then technically it's breach of contract.
its the first time i was late and they have given me two disciplinary actions all because they told me they can bypass the oral warning now i only got one more chance
i was not aware they gave me an oral warning
Definitely in most larger companies there would be a formal appeals process that you could go through if you think the action is unfair.
I find it highly dubious that taking away pay can occur as the result of a disciplinary action in any case, the normal course of action is that they suspend or fire you at the end of a disciplinary process, but then they would definitely have to conduct an interview and listen to your side.
Take it up with HR or your manager.
AND if you're not in the union then (if one exists that you could join) you could join it now and get them to help you, as membership is often immediate.
You have the right to a weeks notice of any hearing, and you have the right to be represented.
IMHO They are taking the piss because they think they can get away with it...
