The Disciplinary Hearing Letter is a crucial document in Nigerian employment practice, used when formal disciplinary action is being considered against an employee. It must be issued in compliance with the Nigerian Labour Act, the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (particularly Section 36 on fair hearing), and relevant employment regulations. The letter should be used when there are serious allegations of misconduct, persistent performance issues, or violations of company policies that may warrant disciplinary action. It typically includes details of the allegations, hearing arrangements, rights of representation, and potential consequences. The document serves as an essential step in ensuring procedural fairness and protecting both employer and employee interests in the disciplinary process.
