SCHEDULE A

DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURE

The disciplinary procedure provides for warnings to be given for failure to meet the Company’s standards of job performance conduct (whether during working hours or not) and attendance or for breach of any of the terms and conditions of employment. The Director should be familiar with its provisions and aware that the procedure is not to be regarded as contractually binding upon either the Company or the Director

1 In the first instance the Board will establish the facts surrounding the complaint (if necessary) taking into account the statements of any available witnesses.

2 If the Board considers that it is not necessary to resort to the formal warning procedure, the Board will discuss the matter with the Director suggesting areas for improvements The discussion will in so far as is possible be in private and the Director will be informed that no formal disciplinary action is being taken.

3 If the Board considers that it is necessary to invoke the formal warning procedure, the Board will inform the Director in writing giving detail as to the proposed venue date and time of the meeting together with detail as to the matter to be discussed. The following procedure will then apply but depending upon the seriousness of the offence may be invoked at any level including summary dismissal.

3.1 In the case of minor offences the Director will be given a formal oral warning in the event that the Board deems fit. He will be advised that the warning constitutes the first formal stage of the disciplinary procedure and that a note will be placed on his personal file and will remain on file for the period of 6 months. The nature of the offence and the likely consequences of further offences or a failure to improve will be explained to him.

3.2 In the case of serious offences or a repetition of earlier minor offences the Director will be given a written warning in the event that the Board deems fit which will remain on file for the period of 12 months. The warning will set out the precise nature of the offence the likely consequences of further offences and specifying if appropriate the improvement required and over what period.

3.3 In the case of a further repetition of earlier offences or if the Director still fails to improve or if the offence whilst falling short of gross misconduct is serious enough to warrant only one written warning the Director will receive in the event that the Board deems fit one written warning which will remain on file for the period of 9 months. The warning will set out the precise nature of the offence containing a statement that any recurrence will lead to dismissal or whatever other penalty is considered appropriate and specifying if appropriate the improvement required and over what period.

3.4 In the case of gross misconduct or if all previous stages of the warning procedure have been exhausted the Director will normally be dismissed but only after consideration of other possible disciplinary action including (but without limitation) demotion or transfer, loss of seniority or salary increment suspension with or without pay.

4 Where the Director is accused of an act of gross misconduct, he may be suspended from work for such period as the Board decides on full pay pending outcome of the investigation into the alleged offence.

5 In all cases before any disciplinary action (including warnings) is taken the Director will be interviewed by the Board and will be informed of the allegations made against him. He will be given the opportunity to state his case and at the interview may be accompanied by a colleague or trade union representative of his choice. If the complaint is upheld the Director will be informed of the disciplinary action to be taken the stage in the disciplinary procedure to be adopted depending upon the seriousness of the offence and of the right to appeal.

6 The following are non-exhaustive examples of the sort of offences which if committed will normally lead to formal disciplinary action being taken.

6.1 Minor offences (oral warning) poor job performance involving sub-standard work punctuality, absenteeism or any minor breach of the Company’s regulations.

6.2 Serious offences (written warnings) negligence resulting in minor loss damage or injury failure to comply with specific instruction irresponsibility in relation to the Company’s employees activities or impropriety in relation to the Director’s tasks for the Company whether or not within working hours which the Company reasonably considers to be detrimental to or conflicting with the interests of the Company or its clients or likely to affect the Director’s standard of work failure to disclose any personal interest of the employee which conflicts with any matter of a client or customer with which the Director is engaged or any breach of confidence relating to the Company or its clients’ or customers’ affairs.

6.3 Gross misconduct (dismissal) negligence resulting in serious loss damage or injury, assault or attempted assault, theft, malicious damage to property, wilful disregard of duties or of instructions relating to the employment, deliberate and serious breach of confidence relating to the Company’s or its clients’ or customers’ affairs, the use for personal ends of confidential information obtained by the Director in the course of his employment, falsification of records, conduct violating common decency, being incapable through alcohol or under the influence of drugs, conviction on a criminal charge relevant to the Director’s employment or misuse of the Company’s computer and telecommunications systems. In serious cases dismissal will normally be without notice.

7 The Director has the right to appeal against any disciplinary decision. The appeal must be instituted in writing and be received by the Chairman within 5 working days of the decision being appealed. The Appeal Notice must specify the Grounds of Appeal and be addressed to the Chairman. The Appeal will then be heard at a hearing by the Board whose decision will be final.
