What is a disciplinary hearing and what is the disciplinary hearing procedure?
A disciplinary hearing is necessary in the workplace if you are unable to settle disputes informally or the behaviour of an employee is classed as gross misconduct. Do you know the disciplinary hearing procedure? If not, read on to find out some great tips.
A disciplinary hearing is a meeting to get the employee’s side of the story and gather all the facts. Thus, a decision should be based on unbiased facts and the balance of probability.
However, a formal disciplinary hearing procedure can be stressful for an employee. So we have created this guide on how to conduct a disciplinary meeting to make an employee feel comfortable.
Disciplinary hearing procedure for recording
As mentioned above, it is important to capture the facts, as this is what the decision will be based upon. Hence, in a stressful situation, it can be difficult to recall what was said. Afterwards, a dispute may arise as to what was said.
Therefore, it makes sense to record the disciplinary hearing. More importantly, is to ensure you get a good quality recording and we have put together this guide on how to do that on your phone. Plus, having a good quality recording will mean you pay less. This is because most transcription companies will charge a higher rate for a poor quality recording. Furthermore, an employee is entitled to a copy of the hearing transcript as part of the disciplinary hearing procedure.
