Employee’s Disciplinary issues
Dealing with employee’s disciplinary issue was never an easy task as employee would usually put up his/her guards and behaved in a defensive mode, when questioned. As a rule of thumb, employers / companies bear the burden of proving the employee had indeed committed the misconduct, not only at the domestic level (internally), but also at the Industrial Court and beyond.
Thus, it is vital for employers/companies to get the initial step right when dealing with this issue.
