Do you have disciplinary procedures in place?

From October 2004, it is a statutory requirement that all businesses should have disciplinary rules & procedures. Whether you have 1 or 100 employees, these procedures must be followed as a minimum if you are contemplating dismissing an employee or imposing another disciplinary penalty. Failure to follow the statutory procedure, the dismissal will be automatically found unfair at an employment tribunal.

Confused? Don’t be! ACAS are running a half day course at Lochaber College which will cover all the rules and procedures. The course costs £30 plus vat. Contact LBDS on 01397 874402.

Further information can be found on the ACAS website or contact us for the information factsheet – A guide to disciplining staff.
