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 this policy. However, it is not just enough to have a policy - you must also implement it, which is why this package includes additional 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.
