From time to time, most companies will have a problem with a member of staff. There is a need to specify the procedure so as not to incur problems in the employment tribunals, as this can be very costly and time-consuming.
Prevention is better than cure and a disciplinary procedure tells staff what is, and what is not, acceptable. This includes:
- Misconduct
- Poor performance
- Poor time keeping
- Unauthorised absence
In addition, this document covers more serious, gross misconduct such as:
- Theft
- Fighting
- Serious harassment
- Deliberate damage to property
Different levels of problem will warrant different levels of discipline conducted by different levels of management. This must be clearly communicated in the policy. But it’s not just enough to have a policy - you must also implement it, which is why this document comes with free advice on managing discipline and dealing with poor performers.
Note that this is a more sophisticated procedure for a large company that has the management structure to handle different levels of discipline.
