In this video, I explain what gross misconduct is and, how an employer should deal with gross misconduct allegations. #behrwise #discipline #grossmisconduct
Racial and Disability Discriminations resulted escalated Retaliated Retailiated Harrassment abd Gross Misconduct are what I horrifically and painfully suffered at Ralph Lauren.
Thanks for the video. @1.19 on using work premises for personal use, can you give some examples ? Using a table (and pen) to write a personal note or letter to someone can't be sufficient, can it ? Or sending a personal email from a work computer ? Or storing things ? It would probably have to be something significant in order to qualify for gross misconduct.
@@hopeplacehr I was just saying that "using work premises for personal use" probably cannot mean everything. If you write a letter to someone using pen and paper from the employer, and sit at a desk in the office to write it, cannot already mean misconduct, it is just too negligible. Similarly, writing the occasional email on a work computer or using your personal phone in the office area, also cannot mean a transgression. And if you store some personal items in an office cupboard, such as extra pillow, toiletries, sports clothing, maybe some canned food for late evenings etc., or let's say storing valuables there for a few days while moving flats, with no other good/safe place in reach to store these at that time, probably also do not qualify. But where is the line to misconduct or gross misconduct then actually crossed ? Storing your sailboat on the company parking lot probably does, at least if for a longer time, such as during the off-season. Running a side business from your office, even if the business is officially permitted by the employer as a side activity, definitely would also it would seem.

Hello, sorry for the delay in responding. It’s difficult to answer your question without more context. Dawn
