Company Policy vs LRA

Which overrides which?  if the company policy states contact your line manager to notify him/her of your absence from work and LRA states you can notify any employee of the company as long as it is within reasonable time, which one is correct?  What if you contacted a senior member of staff to whom you have a dotted line reporting of your absence?

Also, can a final written warning be issued for a first offense (not complying with a reasonable instruction and poor time keeping) without an employee being notified of a hearing and just called into a meeting without prior knowledge?  Should the employee also be advised that they can appeal the final written warning within a certain timeframe?  What if other staff members also do not follow company policy by notifying immediate line managers of their absence?  Could an appeal be lodged based on constructive dismissal should the employee feel victimised due to actions only taken again them for the same transgression but not other staff members? Having said all of this no induction was ever given and company policy never issued to the employee.  An email was sent stating their expectation that staff should contact direct line managers.  However having said that, their is a clear organogram of who the staff report to which includes said dotted line manager to whom the absence was reported. 

 

Please advise
