THIS EVENT HAS NOW SOLD OUT - NEW DATE BEING ADDED FOR 1st APRIL 2010!

What are the Workshop Objectives?

This workshop combines practical advice and exercises on discipline at work. Template letters and other materials compliant with the statutory dismissal procedures are used in this event.

Workshop Overview

• Putting Discipline/Dismissal into the Legal and Contractual Context - What might happen if you get things wrong - an overview of applicable legislation, Tribunal Claims, potential outcomes and awards
• Getting the Best from Employees - Setting organisational rules and standards - what are "acceptable" standards? What is "underperformance"? Managing minor misconduct issues and putting informal corrective action measures into place. Handling underperformers; what initial steps should the manager be taking; focusing on guidance and support to rectify problems; what if that approach fails?
• Moving to the Formal Process - Understanding when and how the Statutory Dismissal and Disciplinary Procedures apply and implications of non-compliance
• Three Applied Case Studies - Misconduct, Absenteeism and Underperformance. Each case study looks at an investigation of the facts; drafting letters requiring attendance at meetings; conducting the meeting; deciding on appropriate outcomes taking into consideration all relevant circumstances; and the appeal process
• Intervening Grievances - Handling grievances made during the disciplinary process including allegations of bullying and harassment; operating parallel statutory procedures
• Summary and Action Plans

Who Should Attend?
