Failures during discipline leave employers exposed

Employers need to ensure that employee disciplinary procedures adhere to strict procedural requirements. Any procedural failures during a disciplinary process could leave employers exposed to successful personal grievance claims from employees.

Partners from New Zealand’s top workplace law firms will be providing a step-by-step guide to legally defensible disciplinary processes at HRD’s 2018 Employment Law Masterclass series.

Returning to three cities around New Zealand in the next few weeks, this popular program focuses on the most complex and challenging legal issues facing HR managers in their day-to-day work. Delegates will learn what language to use during formal employee disciplinary meetings and how to deal with personal grievances and stress claims lodged during disciplinary proceedings.

Other topics covered at the event include workplace bullying allegations, mental health in the workplace, updates on the Holidays Act 2003, pay equity reform and more.  Further information including details on how to register is available here.
