Hearings

We are the ideal hearing aid! We advise or chair disciplinary hearings. We are thorough, cautious and never skimp or short circuit the process. Our disciplinary findings and reports are always detailed, well thought through and reasoned.

We advise on “how to manage” employee misconduct – from investigating, charging and suspending to how to present a case at a disciplinary hearing. Alternatively we can take away the hassle by acting as the prosecutor in your internal disciplinary hearings. We are well equipped to advise or prosecute cases of serious misconduct including theft, corruption, fraud, assault, sexual harassment, negligence and insubordination to name but a few.

We advise / gear up processes to manage poor work performance and other forms of incapacity (ill health and injury) impacting on operational efficiency and productivity. We also chair performance hearings.

Safeguard yourself against constructive dismissal claims! We provide practical advice on “how to handle” employee grievances or we can facilitate / chair your grievance hearings.
