Disciplinary and grievance procedures are crucial frameworks that enable employers to address employee misconduct and resolve workplace disputes in a fair and consistent manner. In Ireland, these procedures are regulated by the Unfair Dismissals Acts 1977–2015 and the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) Code of Practice on Grievance and Disciplinary Procedures. These legal frameworks highlight the significance of procedural fairness, ensuring employees are treated equitably and have the opportunity to voice their concerns through formal channels. Similarly, in the UK, the ACAS Code of Practice provides guidelines for handling disciplinary and grievance issues, underscoring the necessity for fair treatment and proper procedures.
