@oldfashionedplayer thanks for that, will have a look at that, The thing is the employee knows idling happens regularly by almost every driver and the note now put up seems to sanction allowing it too, as long as van is "not left", it also appears the notice informs others what is and isnt acceptable which unfortunately was not something the accused was privy to at the time of the "incident" so this employee got an aggressive dressing down partly for idling, has now a written warning which only says improvement required is to "lock the van when leaving it" which seemingly condones or rather admits that idling is acceptable, and bearing in mind the other part of leaving the van "unattended" is arguable as the van was in clear view and also gotten to immediately as the complainant got to it, so in my view not in any danger of the van or goods being damaged or stolen.

Quote from: dfl on 18-04-24, 08:42PMDoes anyone have link to the current drivers handbook, been looking for ages

so... I actually managed to find this if you need it still..

tesco help not colleague help - search - "Customer Delivery Driver Buddy Checklist" -

its called "Customer Delivery Driver Buddy Checklist - what good looks like"

on the page it has 2 links, a checklist and a learning plan,

in the learning plan - page 16-17 of 22 and theres "Useful links" one of them is Drivers handbook 


unfortunately doesnt say much in terms of the actual bit on idling, but at the bottom of the original is links for more policy bits that outline bits too and the bit i mentioned previously outlining Idling under - "Driver handbook - Road safety policies"

it does seem though that a buddy checklist and daily checklist thing says about idling from the handbook of "no idling", that was back in 2023, but still shouldn't be targeting just the one guy who's been noticed doing it / near his vehicle.

    

Notice from management now added in The dept reads :-

IDLING

Please be aware that you are not to leave the engine running whilst you are not in attendance with the van. If you are not stood with the van you are to turn the engine off and lock it before you leave it.

This applies anywhere, whether it be on the road, in Click & Collect or in the yard.

If the van is left running and you are not with it, then the vehicle is not insured.

@lucgeo thanks, this will help with the employees appeal

Yes as an accused, I had a letter placed in my file by my manager to retract the warning given...you can't take anything out of a file, but a letter can be added to withdraw the disciplinary given, stopping it being automatically escalated in future disciplinary actions.

As a rep, I had a final warning overturned on appeal.

Plan your appeal, write down and make bullet points. Keep it concise, giving your reasons as to why you want to appeal. Don't waffle, don't allow being spoken down to by the manager, don't be critical about the previous manager or investigation, just stick to the points you want to make.

never gone to appeal but i have had a snr manager do an investigation on me and have to send the rarely used "sorry for accusing you template letter"   she said in her 15 years she had never had to use it before. 

Has anyone on here ever had a positive result from an appeal, ie:- reduced or wiped out
