Season 2 Episode 5 (Disciplinary Actions in the Workplace; When to Act and How)
Description
B&P Associates has in-depth experience in labour law matters, ranging from issues relating to employment, termination of employment, dismissal, and labour unions to collective bargaining. Over the years, numerous inquiries have come through to the firm concerning disciplinary actions of employees in the workplace.
Insufficient knowledge in the area has resulted in some employees and employers lacking the understanding of how to initiate disciplinary measures, the appropriate timing for conducting such proceedings, the rights and responsibilities of both the employer and the employee throughout the process, and other related matters.
Following on from part 1 of our Employment Series on termination of employment in general, we thought it apt to have this episode on dismissals and disciplinary hearings to create awareness on same.
Our guest speaker is Mr. Ernest Osei-Afful, a Senior Corporate Counsel at Ecobank Ghana PLC and a Board Member of the Food and Drugs (FDA), Ghana where he oversees legal, HR and corporate affairs of the Authority. Mr. Osei-Afful, a member of the Institute of Human Resource Management Practitioners (IHRMP) and a lawyer of over a decade, has vast experience in labour law and employment-related issues and can contribute immensely to the conversation by providing us with information on disciplinary hearings, when they are necessary, how to go about them among others.
