The Disciplinary Hearing Letter is a critical document in Maltese employment practice, used when formal disciplinary action is being considered against an employee. It must be issued in compliance with the Employment and Industrial Relations Act (Chapter 452 of the Laws of Malta) and align with principles of natural justice. The letter should be sent when there are grounds for formal disciplinary action following an initial investigation into alleged misconduct or performance issues. It serves multiple purposes: formally notifying the employee of the allegations, setting out the hearing arrangements, explaining their rights (including representation), and documenting the employer's adherence to fair procedures. The timing and content of this letter are crucial, as they may later be scrutinized if the case proceeds to the Industrial Tribunal or court.
