SERVICES
Disciplinary Code and Procedure
1. Objectives

This procedure applies in all cases where employees are alleged to have breached a rule regulating conduct
or in respect of unacceptable performance in the workplace (whether that rule is in writing or not).

The objectives of this procedure are to ensure that:

1.1 Allegations of misconduct are dealt with in a consistent substantively fair manner;

1.2 There is a fair procedure to determine what disciplinary action is appropriate, if any.

2. Forms of Discipline

2.1 There is a distinction between disciplinary action and counselling. In general, counselling is appropriate
where employees are not performing to standard, or are unaware of a rule regulating conduct and/or where
the breach of the rules is relatively minor and can be condoned. Disciplinary action will be appropriate where
a breach of the rules cannot be condoned, or where counselling has failed to achieve the desired effect.

2.2 Disciplinary action may take the following forms, depending on the seriousness of the matter:

• Verbal warning
• Written warning
• Final written warning
• Temporary suspension of employment with / without pay
• Dismissal with / without notice

3. The Application of Discipline

3.1 It is the sole responsibility of the management to decide when it is necessary to apply this procedure,
and what form of disciplinary action is appropriate.

3.2 Before deciding what form of disciplinary action is appropriate, management may decide to meet the
employee concerned, in order to explain the nature of the rule s/he is alleged to have breached, and give the
employee an opportunity to explain her or his conduct. Such meeting does not constitute a formal inquiry.

3.2 The different forms of disciplinary action, and the procedure relating to formal inquiry’s and reviews, are
described more fully below:

4. Verbal Warning

4.1 Verbal warnings are appropriate in the case of minor offences, or where an employee breaches a rule for
the first time, but it is not necessary to issue a written warning.

4.2 The appropriate Manager may issue a verbal warning, which will be recorded on the employees file as a
verbal warning, which is valid for a period of 3 months.

5. Written Warning

5.1 Written warnings are appropriate where an employee shows disregard for verbal warning(s) given, or in

Labour Management Services - Code Procedure Revision 09/2007 © 1


the case of a more serious offence/s.

5.2 The Manager may independently issue a written warning, after meeting the employee concerned. This
warning will be forwarded to Personnel to be placed on the employee’s personal file.

5.3 A written warning must briefly describe the nature of the breach-giving rise to the warning.

5.4 Written warnings shall remain valid for 6 months

6. Final Written Warnings

6.1 Final written warnings are appropriate where an employee has received a written warning for the same
or a similar breach of rules.

6.2 The [Industrial Relations Manager / Authorised designate] may issue a final written warning, after
meeting the employee concerned, or after a disciplinary inquiry.

6.3 A final written warning must briefly describe the nature of the breach-giving rise to the warning.

6.4 If an employee disputes a final written warning given after a meeting, s/he may request a formal inquiry,
to review such warning within 3 days of receiving such warning.

6.5 A final written warning shall remain valid for [9 months].

6.6 The [Industrial Relations Manager] must inform the employee that a failure to heed a final written warning
may result in dismissal.

7. Temporary suspension of employment with / without pay

7.1 The Company is entitled to suspend an employee on full pay pending an investigation into any
alleged breach of the disciplinary code, or where the Company at its sole discretion believes that the
employee’s attendance at work may be disruptive.

7.2 Should the employee wish to appeal against suspension , a written representation must reach the
Company within 24 hours of notification of suspension.

7.3 An employee may, as a last alternative to dismissal, be suspended without pay on condition that
the employee unconditionally and without prejudice to the Company agrees to the suspension in
writing. Should an employee agree to a period of unpaid suspension the employee will forfeit any right
to dispute the fairness of the suspension.

7.4 During the period of suspension, the employee will not be permitted on the Company's premises
unless written permission has been given to the employee or for the purposes of attending an
investigation.

8. Dismissal with / without notice

8.1 Dismissal may be with notice, in terms of the notice periods prescribed in the employee’s conditions of
employment, or summary dismissal.

8.2 An employee who is dismissed must be informed that’s/he has the right to appeal, or to refer a dispute in
terms of the Labour Relations Act of 1995 within 30 days of the date on which the employee was dismissed.

8.3 Dismissals are appropriate where a written / final written warning is considered inadequate because of
the seriousness of the breach of the rules.

8.4 The [Industrial Relations Manager/ Authorised designate] may dismiss an employee after a disciplinary
inquiry.

9. Appeals

Labour Management Services - Code Procedure Revision 09/2007 © 2


9.1 An employee who is dismissed shall be entitled to appeal against such dismissal.

9.2 Appeals must be noted in writing within three (3) days of the decision to the chairperson of the inquiry,
stating the grounds of appeal.

9.3 The [appropriate managerial structure] shall determine if it is necessary to hear further evidence, or to
allow further submissions to be made, and may confirm, vary or uphold any appeal.

9.4 The [appropriate managerial structure] may delegate its powers in 9.3 to a sub-committee or
representative.

9.5 In the event that dismissal is confirmed, the date of dismissal shall be that date on which the original
decision to dismiss was given.

10. Disciplinary Inquiry

A disciplinary inquiry must be held when:

10. 1 Action stronger than a final written warning may be warranted, in the opinion of the [appropriate
manager] or when an employee has received a final written warning and requests a formal inquiry.

10.2 An employee may be suspended on full pay pending such a inquiry, where the presence of the
employee at the workplace may jeopardize any investigation into the alleged misconduct, or poses any
threat to the safety or well - being of any employee, including management.

10.3 The [appropriate Manager] shall give the employee not less than 24 HOURS notice of the time and date
of a inquiry, and the charge against her or him.

10.4 The following persons should/ may be present at such a inquiry:


• A Chairperson, being a Director/ I.R. Manager or her/his nominee
• A Management representative/ Complainant, who will present the evidence against the employee charged
• The employee charged
• The employee’s representative (only a fellow employee or a shop steward)
• Any witnesses Management / Complainant or the employee charged wishes to call

10.5 At a inquiry, the employee charged and for his/her representative shall have a full opportunity to present
his/her case, to cross-examine any witnesses called in support of the charge, and to have reasonable
access to documents and objects relevant to the charge.

10.6 At the conclusion of the inquiry the Chairperson shall make a finding of guilty or not guilty on the
charge.

10.7 The failure of the person charged and or his representative to attend the inquiry shall not invalidate the
proceedings, except if good cause can be shown in writing to the chairperson within 3 days of the inquiry, for
not attending.

10.8 In the event of a staff member being found guilty, the Chairperson must ask both the employee or
her/his representative and the management to make submissions on the appropriate disciplinary sanction as
well as submissions on mitigation and seriousness of the employee’s actions.

10.9 The Chairperson must then decide what disciplinary action to take, and inform the employee
accordingly.

the discretion of the Chairperson of the appeal inquiry and will depend on the reasons for the appeal.

sure, give the employee the benefit of the doubt.

chairperson is not sure, postpone finding, to allow more time to consider evidence presented, give the
employee the benefit of the doubt.
• If the complainant cannot prove alleged transgression it is not the chairpersons responsibility to guess
what happened. Base decision on fact, not hearsay. Measure of guilt is “ on the balance of probabilities”
• The primary reason for an enquiry it to establish if a transgression occurred and to correct behaviour, not
to dismiss employees.
