One of the most difficult duties an employer has to deal with is managing employee conduct and/or misconduct issues in the workplace. While many of these matters can (and should) be dealt with via counselling, disciplinary and termination procedures, it is easier to arrest general employee conduct deficiencies with an appropriate company policy which specifies general boundaries and guidelines.

The employee should sign an acknowledgement of having read and understood the policy, which may in turn be used for disciplinary purposes if required.

A sample company policy statement is available to NECA SA members by simply loging in to the website. Alternatively, please contact the NECA SA office to find out more about how NECA can assist you and your business.
