Please note - an employee who is a fully paid up member of a Trades Union can be supported at meetings and in some cases, represented, by a Trades Union Representative. Other employees routinely have the right to a witness, who must be a fellow employee and who must be mute at meetings but can take notes.

MODEL Disciplinary Policy & Procedure

The Company Disciplinary Policy has been designed to help and encourage all employees to achieve and maintain standards of conduct. This applies to all employees with twelve months or more continuous service and its aim is to ensure consistent and fair treatment.

This Policy complies with the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures.

Implementation of the policy is the duty of Line Managers. All employees are expected to comply. The Company welcomes the support of the recognised trade unions in seeking to implement this policy in a fair and consistent manner.

Whilst all employees are expected to comply with the policies in order to minimise the risk of claims against the company and individual employees, they are not contractually binding. The policies will be revised on a regular basis to ensure compliance with UK and European legislation and best practice.
