Disciplinary Procedures

When a disciplinary matter arises, it is vital to ensure it is investigated; that the appropriate timescales are followed; that the correct paperwork is collated; and that the correct letters are issued. Failure for businesses to conduct disciplinary matters properly can result in a disillusioned workforce leading to staff turnover and the associated costs, right through to potential unfair/constructive dismissal claims and additional compensation. On the other hand, if carried out properly, a disciplinary can allow for an employee to understand the error or shortcoming and become a valuable member of staff.

A good disciplinary procedure should be based on the Acas Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures.
