Disciplinary Proceedings

If your employer has concerns about your conduct, work or any absences you have had, they could start formal disciplinary action against you. Before further action is taken the employer must raise their concerns with their employee; if they are not resolved, it could lead to formal disciplinary or dismissal procedures.

This occurs when the employee is given a chance to defend themselves against the claim by appealing. Whether you are an employer or an employee, Stirling Ackroyd Legal will be at hand to defend your case.
