What is an employee disciplinary policy?

This Employee Disciplinary Policy provides a framework for addressing unsatisfactory conduct in a New Zealand business, outlining types of misconduct, the disciplinary process, and the employer's and employee's responsibilities.

It emphasises the importance of treating reports of misconduct confidentially, ensuring due process, and using disciplinary measures to encourage improvement, rather than punishment.

The policy applies to all employees and aims to ensure clarity and fairness across all stages of disciplinary action.
