This flowchart outlines the disciplinary process for addressing employee performance and conduct issues. It begins with either an informal discussion or a formal investigation depending on the seriousness of the misconduct. For minor misconduct, the issue is addressed informally. More serious or gross misconduct results in a formal investigation and potential suspension. If misconduct is found, a disciplinary hearing is held where allegations are presented and a decision on sanctions is made. Sanctions include warnings, dismissal, or for performance issues, a performance improvement plan. The final outcome can be appealed.
