HR in the Hot Seat: An Interactive Mock Disciplinary Hearing

HR in the Hot Seat: An Interactive Mock Disciplinary Hearing

Join Darwin Gray’s employment law experts for an interactive morning running through a case involving an allegation of misconduct at work, giving you the chance to watch a challenging disciplinary hearing unfold.

As well as holding the hearing itself, Darwin Gray’s award-winning team will be providing you with guidance on navigating the disciplinary procedure from the point an allegation is made against an employee right through to the end of the process.

Designed for leaders, managers and HR professionals, the session will cover key tips on what you need to remember during the process, including:

• When suspension can be used and the consequences of misusing it
• The common traps employers fall into which can come back to bite you in an unfair dismissal claim
• The relevance of the ACAS Code of Practice and what you need to do to comply with it
• How to deal with a difficult employee who wants to obstruct the procedure, either during the hearing or in the lead up to it (including when an employee raises a grievance)
• The role of the union rep or other companion
• Dealing with an appeal

You will also get the chance to witness the disciplinary process from the employee’s perspective, to help you to understand what you can do to secure their trust and co-operation in the procedure and minimise the risk of future Employment Tribunal claims.

Buffet lunch and networking included.
