Policy wording: Criminal charges or convictions for offences of dishonesty or violence committed outside working hours may result in disciplinary proceedings being taken against the employee up to and including summary dismissal.

A charge or conviction for any other type of offence may result in disciplinary proceedings being taken against the employee where, in the opinion of the Employer, the charge or conviction is such as to affect, or be likely to affect, the suitability of the employee for the position in which he/she is employed, or the business or reputation of the Employer, or where the existence of the charge or conviction could, in the opinion of the Employer, otherwise seriously undermine the trust and confidence that the Employer has in the employee.
