Consultation, Discipline & Grievance Record

Consultation or Discipline is initiated by you, the employer. A grievance is initiated by the employee.

In general, these will be relatively minor, eg punctuality, poor attention to work, rudeness to customers etc, or a grievance about some aspect of conditions of employment.

For more serious breaches, or a succession of minor ones a letter of warning amounting to a sort of 'Yellow Card' should be issued. Always keep a record .

You should consult ACBI at this stage. See also the Disciplinary procedure in the Employee's statement of Terms & Conditions of Employment (also part of this mailing)

Keeping records will keep you straight. More importantly. It will get the best out of your most important resource.....Your staff.

Never ever dismiss a staff member for any reason unless you have;

Conducted a full investigation
Given notice of and held a hearing into the alleged misconduct
Allowed for representation
Issued notice of termination in writing observing the correct notice period
Always contact ACBI before doing anything.
