“The exercise of disciplinary powers is a corrective function, not punitive. The object is to improve an employee’s performance so that he can remain a valued and useful employee, not to give vent to management frustrations. The choice of the disciplinary sanction must therefore reflect this objective, and should, so far as is possible, be tailored to the individual case, bearing in mind the need to show some form of consistency in like cases" (Selwyn’s Law of Employment, 17th edition).
This session will examine elements of an organization's disciplinary matrix to ensure that appropriate sanctions and penalties are applied when workplace infractions occur.
