1 Disciplinary/Dismissal Procedures This policy was adopted by the Board of Directors of Armagh Credit Union Limited. Signed:- Position Position Date:
2 STATEMENT OF POLICY The aim of Armagh Credit Union's Disciplinary Policy is to help and encourage employees to improve, achieve and maintain standards of conduct, attendance and job performance. It also enables the Board to deal effectively with those employees who do not comply with the proper standards of conduct, attendance and performance in the workplace. Equally, the policy and procedure are designed in a manner which is non-discriminatory and which is fair, consistent and effective. It must also be applied in a timely manner and without undue delay. The Board have a responsibility for ensuring that employees are made aware of the Disciplinary Policy and Procedure. All employees are to be informed of the standards of conduct and work performance expected of them and the Board should ensure that these standards are fully understood by those who work to them. Action taken under this policy must reflect fully the process detailed in the Procedural Appendix attached to this policy. Matters relating to or arising under the Disciplinary Policy and Procedure must be treated as confidential at all times. Failure to do so may itself constitute grounds for initiating disciplinary action. The first is the Disciplinary Procedure the Employer will use for dealing with cases involving misconduct by an Employee. The second is a Dismissal Procedure the Employer will use to deal with other circumstances where the Employer is contemplating the dismissal of an Employee. DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURE FOR MISCONDUCT This Procedure will apply to all employees. The intention is to ensure that employees are aware of the Employer s commitment to maintain an acceptable working environment and good discipline within the work place. The object is to ensure that all employees have the opportunity to maintain an acceptable level of behaviour at work and that all employees will enjoy equality of treatment. General Principles (a) At each Stage of the Disciplinary Procedure which involves the Employee meeting the Employer/Employer s Representative(s), the Employee will have the right to be accompanied by a work colleague. The Employee must inform the Employer, prior to the date of the date of any meeting under this Procedure, of the name and status of the person accompanying the Employee to the meeting.
3 Such a person accompanying an Employee at a meeting under this Procedure will be permitted to address the meeting and confer with the Employee but may not answer questions on the Employee s behalf. (b) The Employer/Employer s Representative(s) will investigate all allegations of misconduct by the Employee before deciding to initiate the Procedure. In cases of alleged persistent Minor Misconduct, Major or Gross Misconduct the Employer/Employer s Representative(s) reserves the right to suspend an Employee on full pay for a period not exceeding ten working days during which the investigation will be carried out. (c) Examples of Minor, Major and Gross Misconduct are set out below. (d) The Employer/Employer s Representative(s) reserves the right to impose penalties considered appropriate, including: 3. Issuing of warnings (verbal and written); 4. Suspension; 5. Dismissal (with or without notice) (e) Precautionary Suspension in certain circumstances the Employer/Employer s Representative(s) may impose a brief period of suspension on full pay. For example, such a suspension may be imposed in cases of alleged gross misconduct where it is considered that relationships have broken down or there are risks to the Employer s business or responsibilities to another party. Any such suspensions will be reviewed to ensure they are not unnecessarily protracted. It will be made clear that any such suspension taken is not considered as a disciplinary action.
