A disciplinary hearing is a formal meeting where an organization addresses allegations of misconduct by an employee. During this process, both the employee and the employer present evidence and arguments regarding the situation. The goal is to determine whether the employee violated company policies and what actions, if any, should be taken. Typically, a panel or designated official conducts the hearing, ensuring that the process is fair and impartial. The employee has the right to defend themselves, often with the assistance of a representative. After reviewing the evidence, the panel will decide on appropriate disciplinary measures, which may include warnings, suspension, or termination.
