Document background
A Disciplinary Notice is a crucial employment document used in Australian workplaces when formal disciplinary action is required. It is typically issued when an employee has breached workplace policies, demonstrated unsatisfactory performance, or engaged in misconduct. The document must comply with Australian employment law, particularly the Fair Work Act 2009, and follow principles of procedural fairness. It serves multiple purposes: documenting the specific issue or breach, communicating expectations for improvement, outlining potential consequences, and creating an official record of the disciplinary process. The notice should be issued after appropriate investigations and discussions have taken place, and may form part of a broader performance management or disciplinary process.
