Document background
The Disciplinary Action Letter For Misbehaviour is a crucial document in Australian workplace relations, used when formal action is required to address employee misconduct or inappropriate behavior. It serves multiple purposes: documenting the specific incident(s), establishing a formal record of the employer's response, and communicating expected behavioral changes. The letter must comply with Australian employment legislation, particularly the Fair Work Act 2009, and demonstrate procedural fairness. It typically follows a formal investigation or documented pattern of misbehavior and may be preceded by verbal warnings or informal discussions. The document should be drafted carefully as it may be referenced in future legal proceedings or unfair dismissal claims, and must align with the organization's policies and relevant industrial instruments such as awards or enterprise agreements.
