Managing Performance
Course Description
A comprehensive review of both the practical and legal considerations for Councils in their role as Employer.
We would recommend that as a minimum, a representative from the council as the employer attends (i.e. a councillor).
This is an interactive course
and offers the opportunity to network with Councillors from Councils across Northamptonshire to share best practice and ideas.
Key areas covered in this course include:
-
How to respond to different staff problems
-
Who manages formal and informal disciplinary issues, the full council or a delegated sub committee?
-
Understanding the benefits of effective informal counselling; to resolve most problems without the need for formal disciplinary action.
-
How to conduct an informal counselling session.
-
Conducting Formal Disciplinary Action – the ACAS Guidelines.
-
Resolving Grievances – the ACAS Guidelines and the legal frame work affecting Town and Parish Councils (s28 of the Localism Act 2011 & Ledbury)
-

-
Determining whether or not the Council can conduct further action in relation to the Employee's complaint or if it needs to be referred to the District Monitoring Officer.
