- Most workplaces have specific disciplinary action policies that list any time restraints that must be adhered to.
- An employee cannot be asked to attend a disciplinary hearing without being given sufficient notice and time to prepare a defence.
- Usually three business days is considered to be sufficient notice but this may vary depending on the severity of the offending conduct.
