The Employee Notice of Discipline is a crucial document in New Zealand's employment framework, used when formal disciplinary action is required to address workplace conduct, performance, or behavior issues. It forms part of the progressive discipline process and must comply with the Employment Relations Act 2000 and related employment legislation. The notice serves multiple purposes: documenting the specific concerns, communicating expected standards, outlining consequences, and providing a clear path for improvement. It's essential for maintaining proper documentation of disciplinary procedures and protecting both employer and employee interests. The document should be issued following appropriate investigations and discussions, and typically after verbal warnings unless the severity of the issue warrants immediate written notification.
