If you have suddenly found yourself with a potential disciplinary investigation on your hands, you’ll know how stressful it can be.
Perhaps you have an employee who is always late for work. Or maybe you suspect something more serious, like fraud or negligence. Either way, it’s a problem that you need to resolve quickly.
Disciplinary investigations can be complex
Dealing with a disciplinary investigation can be incredibly time-consuming and complex, particularly if you are not sure what your policies say or worse, they don’t say much.

Every disciplinary investigation is different
You might have questions along the lines of:

- I’ve invited an employee to a disciplinary hearing and they haven’t turned up. What do I do?
