What is a workplace misconduct process checklist?

Misconduct, ranging from minor breaches like inappropriate language to serious misconduct such as bullying or theft, requires a considered response based on the severity of the behaviour.

This checklist outlines the necessary steps for managing both misconduct and serious misconduct, from initial investigation to issuing decisions. Following this process helps ensure a balanced approach, protecting the rights of employees while maintaining a safe and respectful workplace.
