Outline

Overview

Dismissing an employee strikes dread into most employer’s hearts. Easy to get wrong, with unpleasant consequences and lengthy litigation if the employee makes a claim for unfair dismissal. This practical course will leave you feeling confident to deal with a discipline issue that could ultimately lead to dismissal or an employment tribunal.

  • Describe why having disciplinary and grievance procedures are essential for your business
  • Describe the difference between conduct and capability
  • Give examples of minor misconduct and gross misconduct
  • Plan and conduct an investigation and chair a disciplinary hearing
  • List the different penalties that employees may receive, including first and final warnings and dismissal
  • Describe what constitutes unfair dismissal
  • Describe what happens when an employee appeals a decision or makes a claim to an employment tribunal
  • Use effective feedback techniques to be able to deal with difficult conversations

Course Content

This course covers:

  • Managing the probationary period and dismissals for employees with less than 2 years’ service
  • A mock hearing where you will decide the outcome based on the evidence
  • Dealing with difficult witnesses and uncooperative employees
  • What to do if the employee is signed off sick during the disciplinary process
  • How to deal with an employment tribunal claim and manage the ACAS early conciliation process

Testimonials

Great!

Excellent subject matter, presented and delivered wonderfully. Sensitive subject (due to wider societal issues) but material was delivered well with good supporting examples and material. Prompted a lot of thoughts and discussions which I believe it a good thing – raises awareness and conscious level. I am a fan of this training! Thank you.

Putting the Fun in Fundamentals

Brilliant workshop learning about various Human Resources policies and the importance of having them, even in small businesses. It was very interesting from start to finish and educational without being boring. Would highly recommend this workshop.

Engaging delivery

Sarah delivered the session via a blended approach, with a healthy mix of PPT, break out exercises and Mentimeter voting. The session was tailored to Pennine Healthcare’s needs, time management was excellent and Sarah’s professional knowledge shone through.

I’m very happy to recommend Loates Training. (The continuous flow of chocolate was an added bonus).

Thank you

Thanks Sarah!

Enscite asked Sarah to run a workshop on important HR policies required for Small Businesses so that our clients are better equipped to understand some of the HR requirements in relation to this. The session was really well run and both engaging and informative so that our clients went away with better knowledge and having enjoyed their learning experience.
Great job Sarah!

Great learning experience, packed with practical applications

What an amazing course. This course provided me with practical working material and structures which are useful way beyond conflict management.
The trainer was engaging and responsive and straight to the point. Clearly knowledgeable she was able to respond to scenarios and guide us on the use of the material.
I have since utilised these methods and they really work.
