A disciplinary hearing is a meeting facilitated by your Employer to discuss allegations against you and to give you an opportunity to respond to those allegations. Your Employer can discipline you for conduct, capability or some other substantial reason. S13 (4) Employment Relations Act 1999 says that a disciplinary hearing is a hearing which could result in the administration of a formal warning to a worker by his employer, the taking of some other action in respect of a worker by his employer, or the confirmation of a warning issued or some other action taken. This Guide provides you with information on your legal rights throughout the process, with tips, templates and tactics on what to do.

This is your essential step-by-step guide to the Disciplinary Hearing and gives you valuable direction on the entire process. It is an important tool if you want to give yourself the best chance of a good outcome, and to have a strong employment tribunal claim or settlement if you should have to leave your job.
