What is this for?

A disciplinary hearing script template is a guide that outlines the basic structure and content of a disciplinary hearing. The script should be tailored to the specific circumstances of the hearing, but typically includes the following elements:

  • Introductions.
  • Presentation of evidence.
  • Employee response.
  • Deliberation.
  • Conclusion.

It is important to ensure that the disciplinary hearing script template is fair, consistent, and in compliance with any applicable laws.
