Overview

Is it just us, or do disciplinary hearings feel like a legal minefield? 

Join us for this FREE, 45-minute webinar where we’ll untangle the tricky business of fair procedures in disciplinary processes in the workplace, a topic that’s landed more than a few employers in hot water lately.

We’ll be asking (and answering) the questions on everyone’s mind:

  • What are fair procedures, really — and who decides what's “fair”?
  • Does every employee have a right to representation at disciplinary meetings? What about legal representation?
  • Do employees on probation have the same rights?
  • And when it comes to appeals are we talking full re-hearings or just looking at the specific grounds raised by the employee?

Sound confusing? You're not alone, but we've got you covered!

The Workplace Relations Commission has been cracking down, with a wave of recent decisions going against employers, not because the dismissal wasn’t justified, but because the process wasn’t up to scratch.

The takeaway? Even if your reasons are solid, a poor process can cost you, big time.  

That’s why this session is a must for HR professionals, managers, and anyone involved in employee relations.

Laura McKee, Knowledge Partner at Legal Island will be joined with expert legal speakers Patrick Barrett Barrister-at-Law and Roisin Boyle, Trade Union and Employment Lawyer, SIPTU . Together they will explore:

  1. How to apply fair procedures in line with the Code of Practice (S.I. 146/2000)
  2. Real-life lessons from recent WRC case law
  3. Practical tips to help you stay compliant and avoid costly mistakes

Book your place now and make sense of fair procedures in your disciplinary process once and for all!
