Procedures for handling workplace disciplinary matters

The need for proper handling of workplace disciplinary issues is paramount for employers to minimise or completely avoid employment lawsuits emanating from appeals against disciplinary hearing verdicts or decisions. Proper handling of disciplinary issues at the workplace also promote fairness; justice and trust between employees and employers when substantive and procedural fairness are practised and adhered to when administering disciplinary processes. The short training course targets mainly workplace disciplinary officials; disciplinary committee members and establishment-based appeals committee members; workers and works council committee members and individuals seeking to acquire and refine their skills when handling disciplinary issues at the workplace.
