How to conduct a fair hearing

Preparing and conducting a fair hearing in line with legislation and the Acas Code of Practice on discipline and grievance procedures

A formal procedure will involve a hearing where an investigation has shown that the employee has a case to answer.

All workplace hearings must be conducted fairly in accordance with employment legislation and best practice. Failure to do so may result in a breakdown in workplace relationships and potentially employment tribunal claims.

This event covers legal and Acas best practice principles that apply to all types of hearings and explores the key differences in preparation and decision making for hearings relating to conduct, performance, or absence.

You will gain valuable understanding of the Acas Code of Practice, how to prepare for and run an effective hearing, how to deal with problems that might arise, dealing with appeals, and an understanding of legal requirements for notice.

We will explain the employees right to be accompanied and will also explore additional considerations when running hearings remotely.
