FOISA Response No.603 - company Disciplinary Policy
Where relevant, we publish our responses to Freedom of Information requests under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (FOISA).
This response addressed the following query:
“Please send me official document which regulates disciplinary responsibility and procedure of your staff members.”
The PIRC has considered this as a request under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (“FOISA”). An application for information held by public authorities under section 1 of FOISA requires that a public authority release all information held, subject to any applicable exemptions. Public authorities have twenty working days following the date of receipt of the request to respond to an applicant, and therefore, the deadline for response is 27 June 2020.
Under Section 17 of FOISA I can confirm we hold this information. Please find attached to this letter a copy of our company Disciplinary Policy. We are currently in the process of reviewing this policy, however this is the one currently active within our organisation.
