Performance & Misconduct Policy

The Performance and Misconduct Policy sets out the process to ;

• correct and/or improve the standard of performance or conduct of an employee where appropriate or necessary; and
• provide an employee with an opportunity to correct unacceptable performance or conduct (other than in situations where summary dismissal is appropriate).

Disciplinary action by an employer may be necessary in response to unsatisfactory performance or misconduct by an employee. Disciplinary action covers counselling, warnings and termination of employment.

This Policy may be used as guidance for the process or manner in which an employer may discipline an employee because of their poor performance or inappropriate conduct in any circumstances that can be connected to, or impact upon, the employer.
