AN EMPLOYEE’S GUIDE TO DISCIPLINARY AND DISMISSAL HEARINGS
If you are facing disciplinary action or you believe that you have been unfairly dismissed and you need further advice and assistance please contact North West Employment Law on 01257 231458 as soon as possible.
Disciplinary Procedure
Every employer should have a written procedure setting out their rules and standards that are expected from you at work, and the procedure your employer will follow if disciplinary action or dismissal is being considered. If you do not already have a copy of the procedure, ask your employer for a copy.
ACAS Code of Practice
The Advisory Conciliation and Arbitration Service has produced a Code of Practice for employers to follow when dealing with disciplinary matters.

Solicitors are not usually allowed to accompany employees to disciplinary hearings .So normally we don’t become involved unless and until someone is dismissed and needs representation to make a claim for unfair dismissal. If you are fully prepared for a disciplinary hearing it is more likely that you can avoid disciplinary action being taken against you in the first place, or if the worst happens and you are dismissed, then you should have a better chance of showing that your dismissal was unfair.
Our guide will help you through all stages of the process including any appeal and tell you what should happen if your employer follows the ACAS Code.
