Tip of the WEEK:

Why is it important for employers to have clear disciplinary rules and procedures?

Disciplinary rules are necessary to set standards and make it clear to employees what conduct is and is not acceptable in the workplace. Rules help employees to know where they stand in their employment on a range of issues. Disciplinary procedures are also an essential management tool to permit managers to deal fairly and consistently with any employee who breaches the rules.
