    IF hourly employee is complaining abut their Manager should another hourly employee
    If an hourly employee is complaining abut their Manager to the HR Director should another hourly employee from a different department be allowed to sit in as "support" to the complaining employee?

    What? A meeting with the Manager and the disgruntled employee wants another, unrelated employee to sit in?

    Why?

    Union, contract, something else?

    The Manager that was being complained about was not present, just the HR Manager

    No one is automatically "allowed" unless there is a contract or it is union.

    The company does not have to allow just another employee to be in the room. In fact it may even not be allowed.

    We need more info - this is like shooting in the dark.

    What exactly happened? How do you fit into the situation?

    I don't understand the situation.

    Are you saying as obliquely as possible that you are the person being complained about??

    If so, sure, file a complaint, but it sounds like a weak case.

    Yes, I am the one being complained about, and I'm Ok with that, what I am not OK with is the employee who reports that complained was allowed to bring in another employee from a different department as "support". Support for what I don't know, I was only told she was there for support. I have 13 employees and this is the only one I ever have problems with.
    But my question is should the HR Director allowed another employee from another department sit in on the complaint as "support" only??

    You are asking about legally and so the answer is unless something in your HR manual, union contract employment contact says "no," yes, this is allowed.
