The Disciplinary Notice is a crucial document in Nigerian employment practice, used when formal disciplinary action needs to be taken against an employee for misconduct, poor performance, or violation of company policies. It forms part of the progressive disciplinary process required under Nigerian labor law and must comply with the Labour Act and other relevant employment legislation. The notice serves multiple purposes: documenting the incident or behavior requiring disciplinary action, communicating expectations for improvement, outlining consequences, and protecting both employer and employee rights. It creates an official record that may be necessary for future reference or legal proceedings, particularly if the matter escalates to termination. The document should be drafted with careful attention to legal requirements for fair hearing and due process, including the employee's right to respond and appeal.
