Disciplinary process made clear following Employment Partner’s advice

Employment Partner Valerie Lambert recently provided advice on a disciplinary issue and subsequent processes for a large manufacturing client. This involved providing a detailed road map of the process the member of staff was going to go through, and supporting with the actions and documents required.

The client was able to run the process smoothly with Valerie in the background, making recommendations and giving guidance where necessary.

Following the case, the client said:

“Val has worked for my businesses for several years, giving competent and precise advice in all employment matters. In a recent case, Val was able to supply a road map of the exact process in dealing with a member of staff facing disciplinary issues. As the member of staff had several years’ service with the company, it could have been easy for us to make a mistake that would have seen the company in court.

With Val’s guidance and help we were able to navigate the tricky situation and ensure the outcome was in the best interest of the company and the remaining employees. With Val’s assistance we have now changed some of the procedures to ensure a more robust system is in place for management to implement.”
