Unravelling employee misconduct

Dismissing or terminating an employee is a serious matter that has consequences far beyond the simple loss of income or job. It can have ramification on the outlook of an organisation, which is why courts and other labour institutions are so keen to ensure that an employee is given fair procedures and natural justice.

Before deciding on the most appropriate course of action to take when performance or conduct becomes an issue, it is critical to use a thorough disciplinary process so that you reduce any legal risk to the business and ensure fairness for the employee and any other persons involved.
