Earlier this year I posted on here that a colleague had raised a formal grievance against me for harassment. Serious claims, full investigation. A couple of weeks ago I received a copy of the investigation report, to discover that I had been found "guilty" on all claims made, but the report made clear that while I had had an investigation meeting I had not been provided with any of the actual evidence the claimant had provided, nor any additional witness statements, which is contrary to acas guidance and the internal procedure.
I sought legal advice since I could only assume I would face disciplinary proceedings and need to launch my own grievance against them for how badly this has all been done.
Monday I was invited to a meeting with HR ( I work for a large organization), at which point they stated they themselves had serious concerns with the investigation and are overturning all the findings and I have no case to answer.
I'm relieved but I have been an emotional mess for months during this process, and paid hundreds in legal fees. Im currently on leave, but have lost trust and confidence in my employer and face having to work with the person who still probably believes I'm discriminatory.
HR have suggested mediation and are open to ideas I may have to move forward or next steps.
I don't know whether to request a settlement agreement and leave, agree to mediation but ask for some compensation and try and stay.
Not sure what to do.
