Program Overview 

Employee discipline is the most challenging task of a manager. Poor handling of employee discipline may lead to an eventual award of back wages, separation pay, damages and attorney’s fees.

Effective administration of employee discipline entails knowledge of the laws affecting the rights of workers. It is not just important to know the procedural requirements in exercising disciplinary measures to workers. It is equally important to have prior basic knowledge of the Constitutional mandates and pro-labour policies of the state, the laws governing employment relations, the limits and extents of management prerogatives, and workers’ rights.

  • Learn the concepts of discipline
