In this podcast, Darren Newman considers the key principles of the statutory discipline and dismissal procedures. The podcast also covers the application of the statutory grievance procedures. Included in his consideration are the details of the procedure; the ways in which employers may breach the procedure; the application of the rules on the lodging of grievances; how to deal with the overlap between discipline and grievance; and how individual and collective redundancies overlap.
