Document background
The Disciplinary Investigation Letter is a crucial document in Australian workplace relations, used when formal investigation of employee conduct or performance is necessary. It serves as the initiating document for workplace investigations where allegations of misconduct, serious underperformance, or policy breaches require formal examination. This document must comply with Australian employment law, particularly the Fair Work Act 2009, and reflect principles of procedural fairness. The letter typically includes details of allegations, investigation procedures, rights and responsibilities of all parties, and potential outcomes. It's essential in creating a clear record of the investigation process and protecting both employer and employee interests throughout the disciplinary process.
