When an employee must be disciplined, and a disciplinary hearing is held, there is a requirement for a Chairperson to oversee the Disciplinary Hearing, enquiries should be procedurally fair and the Chairperson must be independent and impartial. It is crucial to get the disciplinary hearing and chairing of the disciplinary hearing right.
It is cost effective and can save a lot of time and money to hire a Chairperson from Progressive IR to prevent the matter from being referred to the CCMA for any non-compliance with the procedural aspects due to a biased or inexperienced Chairperson.
The Chairperson of the
disciplinary hearing
must base decisions solely on the evidence submitted by the parties during the enquiry (have the ability to distinguish facts from opinions) and be able to provide reasons for any decision made; additionally the Chairperson should also have no prior knowledge of the details or events of the case prior to the
disciplinary hearing.
Handling disciplinary hearings and issues and not outsourcing to an HR specialist often comes at a high cost and companies are more often relying on HR Specialists and Industrial relations experts because it saves money to get the process right the first time.
A simple consideration of what the manager’s time costs to chair a disciplinary matter makes outsourcing this function economically viable and most definitely a good business decision given the specialist knowledge required and the requirement for impartiality.
