Disciplinary Policy & Sanction Guide

R8000,00

The purpose of a disciplinary code and procedure is to regulate the standards of conduct of employees. Discipline aims to correct unacceptable behaviour and adopt a progressive approach in the workplace. This also creates certainty and consistency in how discipline is applied. Employees cannot be disciplined for misconduct committed by them if they were unaware and oblivious to the fact that the particular misconduct committed by them was punishable and that it was a rule within the workplace that has been contravened. The value of having rules and regulations within a workplace will unequivocally contribute to the success and sustainability of the company – the ultimate goal in any work environment.

Aligned to Schedule 8 of the Labour Relations Act and the Codes of Good Practice, this matrix disciplinary approach covers most offences in the workplace.
