This disciplinary procedure is a general guide to how discipline should be handled in the workplace. All employers, irrespective of their size or resources, should have in place a procedure that sets out how discipline will be handled.

Disciplinary procedures such as this are typically non-contractual in effect. This is usually best practice, and will enable you to deviate from the strict terms set out within it if necessary. Whilst this is not ordinarily advisable, you do have the freedom to do so.

This disciplinary procedure is fully compliant with the new law, effective 6 April 2009.

This procedure is not designed to deal with issues of capability, or non-wilful under performance. In situations such as these, you should consider using a capability policy.

Included in this disciplinary procedure are provisions relating to:

- Standards of Expected Behaviour
- Oral Warning
- First Written Warning
- Final Written Warning
- Dismissal
- Appeals
- Investigation
- Suspension
- Right to be Accompanied
