Disciplinary procedures are a necessary element of running a successful business. Even though the old statutory disciplinary procedures have now been repealed, it is essential that you follow a fair process when handling disciplinary procedures. A failure to follow a fair disciplinary procedure can still mean that an Employment Tribunal could find the dismissal unfair.

Areas to consider within a Disciplinary Procedure
- Communicate with all parties involved so that a true picture can be built up in the investigation phase.
- All findings must be written down so that there is physical evidence, which can be referred back to.
- Create a fair procedure and consistently follow it so that whenever a disciplinary issue arises everyone involved knows how the process will go.
