Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, an assistant services supervisor, was dismissed after a disciplinary hearing where he faced alternative charges of conduct inconsistent with his employment contract and conduct likely to bring the company into disrepute. The hearing officer found him guilty as charged without specifying which charge was proven and dismissed him after he failed to submit mitigation within the short timeframe given.
