1 Misconduct Policy Template Letters
2 Effective: September 2014 TITLE: MISCONDUCT POLICY TEMPLATE LETTERS 1. BACKGROUND 1.1 To support the Misconduct Management Process of the WA Health Misconduct Policy (Policy), template letters (Templates) have been drafted to complement each phase of the process. 1.2 The Templates are not part of the Policy and not intended to be used as a substitute for complying with the requirements of the Policy. 1.3 The Templates do not apply to employees subject to the provisions of Part 5 of the Public Sector Management Act 1994 (PSM Act). 2. VARIATION AND USE 2.1 Every Template requires the inclusion of information specific to each case. 2.2 Each Template contains sections identified in brackets which require decisions be made to determine what information is appropriate to reflect the specific circumstances of a case. The inclusion of this information is essential to ensuring the principles of procedural fairness are observed. 2.3 Failure to include specific information in the Templates may render the Misconduct Management Process unfair and potentially invalidate any Disciplinary Action. 2.4 Decision Makers, on advice from local Human Resources (HR) and where necessary in consultation with Health Industrial Relations Service (HIRS) or Corporate Governance Division (CGD), are responsible for ensuring any communication is compliant with the Policy. 2.5 Health services may make minor amendments to the information contained in each Template providing the information remains consistent with the Policy. Such amendments should be endorsed by local HR. 2.6 Templates may be adapted to ensure the Misconduct Management Process is applied within the relevant organisational context. Alternative Templates must be consistent with the Policy and endorsed by HR, CGD and HIRS. 2.7 Once populated, any letter drafted from a Template may be referred for review by local HR and where appropriate to HIRS.
