Disciplinary Procedures 

Overview
An employer is under a legal duty to give each new employee information about his Disciplinary Procedures in the written Statement of Particulars or Contract of Employment.

It is now well established that an employee should not be disciplined or dismissed until a proper Disciplinary Procedure has been followed. This will almost certainly involve holding a formal disciplinary hearing into any complaints or allegations made against an employee, before any disciplinary decision is taken. It is essential therefore that every company has a well publicised Disciplinary Procedure, and that it conforms to the recommendations of the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures (issued in September 2000).

The need for proper Disciplinary Procedures cannot be stressed too often. It is a sad fact that where employers lose unfair dismissal cases, it is down to them not having followed a proper Disciplinary Procedure.

How We Can Help You
We can draw up a Disciplinary Procedure that will conform to the ACAS Code of Practice and which is designed to match the management structure and business needs of the company. Senior management will be closely consulted during the drafting process.

Cost
The cost is £55 (ex VAT), payable in advance.
