So Gross Misconduct (GM), this is where you have been handed a Reg 17 or form 163. this form SHOULD tell you what the allegation is. I say should because the DPS have in some cases been very spearing with their explanations.
Misconduct is the lower level of punishment where you cannot get fired, but don't be fooled you can still be given a final written warning.
There are two types of hearings I'll be referencing, the dreaded Accelerated Misconduct hearing and the Gross misconduct hearing.
