Employment disciplinary and dismissal procedures are simple to create with Lawpack’s Disciplinary and Dismissal Procedure.

Within two months of an employee beginning a job, the employer should write to the employee with a written statement of initial employment particulars (an employment contract serves this purpose). 

Details of staff disciplinary rules should be contained within that statement or employment contract. 

Having this employment disciplinary and dismissal procedure and referring to it within the written statement or employment contract meets the employment law requirements on the employer.
