Acting fairly
Employers must have good reasons for their actions and they must follow a fair process.
This means they must:
- be honest and open, not misleading or lying to you
- treat you with respect
- communicate openly and promptly
- raise and respond to issues fairly
Before an employer makes a decision that could affect your employment, they must give you enough information to understand the situation and have the chance to discuss it. Employers must keep an open mind, listen to you, and be prepared to change their mind.
