Our disciplinary procedure begins when there is sufficient evidence to justify it. When there is suspicion or hints of misconduct, managers or HR must investigate the matter first. Informal action will be considered, where appropriate, to resolve problems. No disciplinary action will be taken against you until the case has been fully investigated. For formal action you will be advised of the nature of the complaint against you and will be given the opportunity to state your case before any decision is made at a disciplinary meeting.
