Common use of Counselling Procedure Clause in Contracts

Counselling Procedure. The Employer’s counselling policy is designed to assist both management and Employees in dealing with situations which arise from time to time that result in an Employee being counselled, disciplined and whose employment may possibly be terminated. The overall objective of these procedures is to ensure that Employees are treated justly and that the Employer and their customers are protected. This is done by distinguishing between those terminations that result after previous warnings (ie dismissal, with notice) and those which occur without the need for warnings (ie summary dismissal). Employee’s should refer to the Employer’s Policy which details the process on this matter and will always be a matter of judgement as no set circumstances are the same.
