Disciplinary Rules & Procedures

Disciplinary Rules and Procedures

It’s self-evident that employees should know where they stand as regards disciplinary matters, grievances and use of the internet and e-mail.

There are of course many other areas where this is also important but these particular matters are especially important as they are the areas where disputes between employer and employee are most likely to arise. As with all employment documentation, avoiding disputes is a prime objective.

Disciplinary rules and procedures and policies on the use of the internet and e-mail need not be lengthy and full of legal gobbledegook

Indeed, they are much more effective if they are kept short and simple and to the point. It’s also important that they are drafted flexibly so as to allow for changes to be made by the employer as the need arises.

Having disciplinary rules and procedures is also very beneficial for employers as it is likely to cast you in a positive light if claims are made against you in the Employment Tribunal.
