Decode a Disciplinary Letter From HR

An HR disciplinary letter has arrived, full of process language that buries the actual point. This translates it: what you are accused of in plain terms, the steps that will follow, your rights at each stage, and how to protect your position. Useful when the stress is high and you need to think clearly first.

**Translate the disciplinary letter into plain English:**
1. The allegations: what specifically are you accused of, stated clearly without HR language
2. The process: what will happen next (investigation, hearing, outcome), and what your rights are at each stage
3. Your right to be accompanied: who can accompany you to any meeting and what their role is
4. The potential outcomes: what the possible findings and sanctions are, from no case to answer through to dismissal
5. How to prepare: the three most important things to do before the first meeting
