Company Disciplinary Policy
"M.I.D. House Of Diamonds. "
This is the policy of the company that all employees should achieve and maintain agreed
standards of conduct, attendance and performance and that everything within reason will
be done to help all employees achieve these standards. If these standards are not
achieved and disciplinary action has to be taken against an employee, it should:
• Be undertaken only in cases where good reason and clear evidence exist;
• Be appropriate to the nature of the offence that has been committed;
• Be demonstrably fair and consistent with the previous action in similar
circumstances;
• Take place only when employees are aware of the standards that are expected of
them or the rules with which they are required to conform;
• Allow employees the right to be accompanied by a representative or colleague of
their choice during any formal proceedings;
• Allow employees the right to know exactly what charges are being made against
them and to respond to those charges.
• Allow employees the right to appeal against any disciplinary action through the
employee grievance procedure.
The disciplinary process aims to maintain the improvement of an employee’s conduct,
attendance and performance. To ensure that this is the driving force, the first problem (if
it is of minor misconduct) will be dealt informally and will not be seen as part of the
disciplinary procedure, but merely an acknowledgement by the organisation to the
employee that the standards are not being achieved. The employee will be informed that
if the problem re-occurs, the disciplinary procedure will be invoked. This informal
discussion will only take place for very minor problems. More serious problems will be
treated immediately through the disciplinary process.
