Carry out a disciplinary investigation
Key points
Where a potential disciplinary matter has arisen, the employer should conduct an investigation into the background and surrounding circumstances to gather all the relevant facts.
The employer should ensure that it acts fairly when deciding who should carry out the investigation.
Depending on the circumstances, it may be necessary for the employer to hold an investigatory interview with the employee accused of misconduct.
