Stages in the Formal Disciplinary Procedure Sample Clauses

Stages in the Formal Disciplinary Procedure. While the formal disciplinary procedure will normally be operated on a progressive basis, in the event that a serious case of misconduct is upheld, the Disciplinary Hearing Manager may bypass earlier stages of the formal disciplinary procedure and apply a disciplinary sanction commensurate to the nature and seriousness of the misconduct. The factors to be taken into consideration when deciding upon the stage of a formal disciplinary sanction to be applied are:  the nature and seriousness of the misconduct;  the employee’s current disciplinary and service record;  special mitigating circumstances which might make it appropriate to adjust the severity of the sanction. Stage One – First Written Warning An employee whose conduct/performance falls below the required standards will normally be issued with a First Written Warning for a period of six months. The First Written Warning will give details of the misconduct, the improvements required, the timescale for improvement and the right of appeal. The employee will be advised that the warning constitutes the first stage of the formal disciplinary procedure and failure to improve within the timescale may result in further disciplinary action under the appropriate stage of the formal disciplinary procedure. A record of the First Written Warning will remain on the employee’s personnel file for a period of two years but will be disregarded for disciplinary purposes after six months provided that the Company is satisfied with the employee’s conduct/performance. Stage Two – Second Written Warning If the employee fails to make the necessary improvements within the required timescale, or where the misconduct is regarded as more serious, the employee will be issued with a Second Written Warning for a period of twelve months. The Second Written Warning will give details of the misconduct, the improvements required, the timescale for improvement and the right of appeal. The employee will also be advised that failure to improve within the required timescale may result in further disciplinary action under the appropriate stage of the formal disciplinary procedure. A record of the Second Written Warning will remain on the employee’s personnel file for a period of two years but will be disregarded for disciplinary purposes after twelve months provided that the Company is satisfied with the employee’s conduct/performance.
