Lateness & Disciplinary Action

Before firing an employee who's constantly late, employers should follow a proper process to avoid unfair dismissal claims. This includes issuing documented warnings explaining the issue and expected improvement, exploring potential personal reasons for the lateness through counseling, and maintaining clear communication throughout. Consulting professionals like Peninsula can help navigate this process, including issuing warnings, handling personal issues, and ensuring fair dismissal procedures.
