The reaction was OP's resignation, which meant for them that OP totally ignored the hearing and the process so without any defence of what happened to paint a different view, they went ahead with what seemed appropriate given what their perception was. Seems pretty straight forward. The handing in was not the cause, the cause was faking sick AND totally ignoring the process to deal with that misconduct. | |

I would request the actual minutes of the hearing to be sure that was decided then. It looks very much like they were not going to fire the employee till the employee handed in the notice (which would not be a valid cause in the UK). The fact that the act could have warranted dismissal is irrelevant if the company did not decide it did at the time. | |
