Chairperson’s Role

In order to hold an effective disciplinary enquiry, proper preparation must take place. It is the duty of the person in charge of prosecuting the case (the employer’s prosecutor) to ensure that the witnesses for the employer are prepared.

There comes a time in every organisation when it is necessary to hold a disciplinary enquiry. It is important to note that the Chairperson at a disciplinary enquiry needs to be someone who is more senior than or at least equal in seniority to the accused.
