The ability to manage misconduct in employment and make the decision to dismiss an employee on the ground of misconduct requires legal and equitable considerations. Conducting a Domestic Inquiry (DI); which is an internal “hearing” to establish whether an employee is guilty of alleged misconduct is an important element in the disciplinary management system. A domestic inquiry conducted without the necessary knowledge, skill and attitude can be very unproductive, costly, and will not serve justice to both employer and employees.
This training will provide the legal foundation and tactical know-how of managing misconduct, undertaking investigation, conducting a domestic inquiry according to the correct procedures, and making a wise decision about dismissal. The eventual focus will be on the roles of the DI Panelists. Accordingly, the focus of the contents delivery and supporting materials will be geared towards the Panelist roles and responsibilities in a Domestic Inquiry Process
