Facing disciplinary action or performance concerns can impact your career and wellbeing. Expert legal advice ensures fair treatment, protects your rights, and helps you respond confidently to safeguard your future.
Being called to a disciplinary meeting or told your performance isn’t meeting expectations can feel overwhelming and isolating. You don’t have to go through this alone.
Your employer has a duty to act fairly and follow clear procedures, including the Acas Code of Practice. They should:
- Share written disciplinary and capability policies with you
- Investigate thoroughly before any hearing
- Set out their concerns in writing
- Give you the chance to explain
- Allow you to be accompanied at formal meetings
- Apply sanctions consistently and proportionately
- Allow you to appeal any decision made.
Performance concerns should be managed through support and training, not punishment. Any monitoring must be fair, transparent, and respect your privacy under UK GDPR.
How can we support you?
We’ll take the pressure off by:
- Reviewing your case and identifying where you can challenge
- Preparing you for meetings and drafting strong responses
- Ensuring your employer follows a fair process
- Negotiating settlement terms if leaving becomes the best option.
We understand how stressful this is. We combine legal expertise with empathy, guiding you every step of the way so you feel supported and confident about your next move.
