Document background
The Progressive Disciplinary Action Form serves as a crucial documentation tool in Indian workplace settings, designed to address and correct employee performance issues or misconduct through a structured approach. This document is utilized when formal disciplinary action is required, typically following informal coaching attempts. It ensures compliance with Indian labor laws, including the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act and Industrial Disputes Act, while maintaining principles of natural justice and fair procedure. The form documents the specific violation or performance issue, current disciplinary step, previous actions taken, expected improvements, and timeline for correction. It protects both employer and employee interests by creating a clear record of the disciplinary process, communications, and agreed-upon action plans.
