Domestic inquiry and employee misconduct


The panel should consist of people of the same rank or higher than the accused, with the chairperson having some knowledge of DI process, procedures and regulations relating to employment law.

An employee accused of misconduct gets his day in “court” via a domestic inquiry, whereby the employer has to prove the charges and the worker gets to defend himself.

A DOMESTIC inquiry (DI) is an internal hearing held by an employer to ascertain whether an employee is guilty of misconduct before an employee is dismissed or before any other major penalty is imposed.
