Why would you use it? 

You would use the 'Result of Potential Dismissal Disciplinary Hearing’ to ensure that the employee receives a confirmation letter with the details of the decision; this provides them with all the necessary information regarding the outcome of the meeting and what happens next. The documentation helps you manage any potential breach's of the Company Disciplinary Procedure in a recognised format so you can document each step of the process in case of tribunal or appeal.

Additional Information

Many company's don't operate a structured approach to the disciplinary process and hence apply a 'Hire and Fire' type arrangement that opens them up to legal implications due to an unfair application of the process. Contrary to belief, business owners cannot make the rules up as they go along as they also are accountable to outside bodies. By following a recognised procedure and recording each step of the process each company should possess sufficient documentation to support it's actions if they experience intervention by tribunal or otherwise.
