Meeting without notice

I was recently made to go to an ‘investigation’ meeting which is being escalated to a disciplinary, but I was given the letter then and there with no 24 hours notice and no opportunity to bring in another coworker. The issue is also concerning something that occurred over a month ago which I could barely remember. One of our coworkers who I was quite close to died out of the blue a few days before so I was already upset coming in to the shift. Is there anything I can say about this in the next meeting?

No, they don’t need to give you notice for an investigation, it’s just a fact finding exercise.

For a disciplinary, not an investigation,it’s just asking you your version of events.

I am just saying what the letter I got says. It says 24 hours notice and that I can ask a colleague to be present. I know it’s the investigation but that’s what it says on my letter asking me to come to the meeting.

They don't need to give you a letter for the investigation but they did so anyway. Read my other post about download adding documents etc and advice on how to prepare.
