Discipline and behaviour of employees should be based on standards set by you that fall within the bounds of what is lawfully and socially acceptable. Disciplinary action should be regarded as a method of improving behaviour and performance and it is often the last resort following discussions or counselling.
Many personal grievances are a direct result of poor procedure during a warning or termination process.
ESL can provide advice on specific matters. Attendance at one of our workshops on procedural fairness will assist employers in dealing with behavioural or performance issues that may end up with a warning or termination.
