Clear and fair guidance through every stage of the disciplinary process.
It is essential that employers have a clear and robust disciplinary process. This ensures protection for both employers and employees, allowing any concerns as to performance or conduct to be properly investigated and appropriately dealt with. Whether advising employers or representing employees, we work to protect our clients' rights and interests within the disciplinary framework.
Disciplinary processes can be challenging for all concerned. Our team is here to guide our clients through every stage of a disciplinary process. Our aim is to seek to engage constructively with the process and to ensure that a fair procedure is followed, in line with legal and contractual rights and obligations. At BCR, our team of experts advise both employers and employees through every stage of the disciplinary process, from complaint, to investigation, to resolution.
For employers, we provide clear, practical guidance on conducting fair disciplinary investigations, preparing for hearings, and enabling good decision-making. Our aim is to ensure that clients follow proper processes and procedures to protect them against future complaints – we seek to minimise legal risk whilst maintaining procedural fairness and consistency. We assist with drafting correspondence, managing evidence, and ensuring that the employee is engaged with appropriately.
For employees facing disciplinary action, we offer confidential advice and representation to help you understand your rights and respond effectively. This includes reviewing evidence, advising on potential outcomes, and supporting you at hearings or appeals. If the process becomes unfair or leads to dismissal, we can advise on the merits of claims for unfair dismissal or discrimination.
