Have you ever pondered any of the following when dealing with what promised to be a straightforward disciplinary matter: your options where you suspect that an employee is guilty of gross misconduct but you have no concrete proof? What scope you have to discipline an employee whose claim of harassment turned out to be unfounded? How to respond to a 16-year-old employee who is insisting on his mum accompanying him to his disciplinary hearing?
Well the XpertHR resource pack on managing discipline and grievance may well put an end to your ponderings! These are just a few of the frequently asked questions included in the discipline and grievance resource pack that we've put together for delegates attending the IRS masterclass on discipline and grievance.
The interactive masterclass will take place in London on 28 January 2010 and will guide delegates through the often tricky terrain of managing discipline and grievance matters, providing practical dos and don'ts every step of the way. The resource pack will help XpertHR subscribers attending the event to get the most out of it.
Among other things, the resource pack includes:
- detailed legal guidance on grievance and disciplinary procedures;
- good practice guides on handling discipline, conducting disciplinary investigations, conducting disciplinary interviews, and handling grievances;
- a four-part series of articles looking at the changes to the law on disciplinary and grievance procedures that took effect from 6 April 2009, and the introduction of the Acas code of practice on disciplinary and grievance procedures (PDF format, 1.58MB) (on the Acas website) and its implications; and
- a series of discipline and grievance FAQs.
The masterclass will enable delegates to:
- understand the key requirements of the Acas code of practice on disciplinary and grievance procedures;
- manage complex disciplinary and grievance issues more effectively;
- appreciate how the code relates to unfair dismissal law;
- understand the key lessons from the case law not dealt with by the code;
- assess whether company procedures need to be reviewed in light of the code; and
- act effectively when procedures are interrupted by counter grievances or stress-related illness.
Don't forget that all XpertHR subscribers who book places on the IRS masterclass on managing discipline and grievance are entitled to a £50 discount (per delegate). To claim the discount simply enter the code PZR27347 on the booking form.
