Disciplinary Policy and Procedures for Technology Businesses
Why do you need a Disciplinary Policy and Procedures?
The odds are that all managers will have to deal with a disciplinary procedure at some point in their career, whether it’s giving a staff member a warning or dealing with gross misconduct. From a HR and legal standpoint, it is vital that when dealing with an informal or formal disciplinary, they must do it by the book to avoid any claims being brought against the company.
A Disciplinary Policy and Procedure will explain to everyone in a company how misconduct will be dealt with - from the initial meetings, to the investigation, and all the way to potential dismissal. The aim of the game is to conduct every case fairly to avoid unfair dismissal or discrimination.
