A disciplinary is the formal process an employer follows when there are concerns about an employee’s behaviour or performance at work.
It’s usually set out in the company’s policies and might be used for issues like repeated lateness, misconduct, or not meeting expected standards. The process often starts with an investigation, followed by a meeting where both sides can have their say. From there, the employer will decide whether action is needed – anything from a warning to, in serious cases, dismissal.
Handled properly, a disciplinary isn’t about ‘punishment’ – it’s about making sure workplace standards are clear, fair and consistent for everyone involved.
