To answer questions such as when to give a warning to an employee and how to prepare for a disciplinary hearing the BVA is highlighting expert-led short videos it has developed to help employers and employees along the disciplinary process.
The five short videos, which can be accessed free on vets.tv as part of the BVA membership package, talk employers through the procedures they must follow to ensure it is a fair process. The videos also advise employees on how to approach the process including guidance on how much time employees should have to look at the evidence on which the disciplinary is based.
Using case studies each video shows what the particular stages in the disciplinary process mean, what they involve and how to prepare for them.
The videos are the latest addition to a range of free employment resources for BVA members which include
- a 24 hour legal advice line (for employment and any private or professional issues)
- mediation and representation services in case the disciplinary action escalates
- downloadable documents such as a Guide to Contracts of Employment and guidance on personal development reviews
Robin Hargreaves, Chair of the BVA Members Services Group, said:
“Many have already downloaded the videos which are short and easy to follow, arming members with the knowledge they need to prepare for the difficult journey through the disciplinary process.
“There is evidently a need for such information and I hope members of the veterinary team check the whole range of free employment resources BVA members can access before paying for external legal advice - it might not be needed.”
