Document background
The Disciplinary Notice To Employee is a crucial document in South African employment law, serving as the formal initiation of disciplinary proceedings against an employee. It is used when an employer needs to address alleged misconduct, poor performance, or violation of company policies in a manner compliant with the Labour Relations Act and related legislation. The document must be issued prior to any disciplinary hearing and forms part of the documented evidence of fair labor practice. It typically includes details of the alleged infraction, reference to relevant company policies, hearing arrangements, and the employee's rights in the process. This notice is essential for maintaining procedural fairness and protecting both employer and employee interests under South African employment law.
