Unacceptable Behaviour and Serious Misconduct Sample Clauses

Unacceptable Behaviour and Serious Misconduct. 12.1 The acts and behaviours categorised below as Unacceptable Behaviour or Serious Misconduct are for guidance only and are not exhaustive. 12.2 It should be clearly understood that the distinction between Unacceptable Behaviour and Serious Misconduct is one both of degree and repetition. In general, proven Serious Misconduct is wilful and/or reckless conduct and a single offence is likely to result in Summary Dismissal. Proven Unacceptable Behaviour may ultimately result in Dismissal, but only when the behaviour persists throughout and despite the Progressive Warning Procedures (for Enterprise Agreement covered employees). 12.3 Any prior Unacceptable Behaviour and/or Serious Misconduct may be considered relevant in determining the appropriate outcome of a disciplinary process. The age, relevance and seriousness of any historic matter will be considered prior to them being used in a current process. If an employee feels a historic matter has incorrectly contributed to a disciplinary outcome, they may use the Review process (Clause 13.13) to request for a review of the decision 12.4 An employee who commits an act or persists in behaviour which is not listed, but which is deemed by the CEO to be equivalent to Serious Misconduct and/or Unacceptable Behaviour may still be the subject of Disciplinary Action. 12.5 All alleged incidents of Unacceptable Behaviour and Serious Misconduct will be investigated in line with the principles of Natural Justice. The rules of Natural Justice ensure that investigations, and any related decisions, are fair and reasonable. No action towards termination will occur without applying elements of Natural Justice, (per the definition of Natural Justice at the end of this policy).
