In the HRPA Human Resources Competency Framework (Functional Domain: Labour and Employee Relations), due process refers to the fair and consistent application of workplace policies and disciplinary actions.
A core component of due process is the employee’s right to appeal disciplinary decisions, ensuring fairness, transparency, and the opportunity to present their case.
Extract:
