Help on disciplinary procedures

[Houses4Rent]

I agree, but I doubt the culprit will generally sign easily. I basically put all in an email to him to create a record for potentially later.

The culprit does not have to sign. If you have a witness, then record it.
The purpose is to show history, which will be difficult to deny when there are facts in a future case.

No witness, as I would not want to reprimand someone in front of others. Probably not good practise.
But I understand the principle of the more proof the better.

The concept of email is excellent.
progressive discipline is important.
A record shows the progressive discipline.
As per justloadit, it could be in a diary, or as per Houses it could be email.

There is no law that says there must be a hearing with chairman ect.
What is required is to show the steps. Clearly signed warnings are easier to submit than trundling out 5 witnesses.

What is required is to show that th person had time to correct the errors of their ways.

there is case law where email correspondence was considered sufficient to constitute poor work performance reviews and prior warning.
