HR Solutions Webinar: Minimising Risk – Disciplinary Investigations
To ensure the process is deemed legally ‘fair’, a disciplinary procedure must begin with an appropriate investigation. Investigations at work are often considered to be the ‘easy bit’ as there is no formal outcome, only a report which recommends whether the matter should go to a disciplinary hearing.
However, did you know that no new facts should come to light in a disciplinary? This means that disciplinary hearing questions about employee misconduct must stem from the findings of the investigation report.
For this reason, an investigation meeting is the foundation of a meaningful disciplinary. Without it, the mere fact that the disciplinary hearing even took place, may be considered unreasonable in employment law!
In this webinar we will:
- Brush up on an investigation process
- Formulate a checklist for running an employee investigation
- Review compliance with employment rights
- Understand how and when you may fairly suspend
- Consider alternatives to suspension
