Managing a disciplinary procedure
|
A guide to process and the Acas Code of Practice for disciplinary procedures
The law requires employers to act reasonably in their discipline of employees. Incorrectly handled processes can lead to unnecessary and costly litigation, with employment tribunals able to adjust awards by up to 25% for failure to comply with the provisions of the Acas Code of Practice on discipline and grievance.
This event will provide an overview of the Code, with a focus on discipline and the minimum requirements when handling disciplinary procedures.
We will explain the formal processes as well as outline options for handling issues informally. We will also explore fairness, decision making and the benefits of clear policies and good communication.
This training will provide anyone involved in people management with the skills and knowledge needed to more effectively manage discipline in the workplace.
