Disciplinary Action
If your conduct breaches this policy in any way, you may be subject to appropriate disciplinary action in accordance with the disciplinary procedure up to, and including, dismissal. Any social commentary that gives reason to believe you have not followed company policy and procedure e.g. unauthorised absence from work, will be investigated and disciplinary action may be taken as appropriate. Any social commentary made inside or outside the workplace that is defamatory, derogatory, or discriminatory about us, our customers, suppliers or employees will be investigated as gross misconduct. Such comments may have a negative impact on our reputation as a company and an employer, and both this and the degree of impact will need to be investigated. If substantiated, such conduct may lead to summary dismissal after the disciplinary procedure has been followed.
