The Disciplinary Action Letter For Misbehaviour is a crucial document in South African workplace disciplinary procedures, designed to address and document employee misconduct in compliance with the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 and related employment legislation. It forms part of progressive discipline and must demonstrate both procedural and substantive fairness as required by South African law. The letter should be issued following a proper investigation and, where necessary, a disciplinary hearing. It serves multiple purposes: documenting the misconduct, communicating the disciplinary decision, outlining required corrective actions, and establishing a formal record for potential future escalation or CCMA proceedings. The document must be carefully drafted to ensure it meets all legal requirements while clearly communicating the employer's concerns and decisions to the employee.
