Respond to an employee's request to make a recording of a disciplinary or grievance hearing

Key points

• Where an employee makes a request to make a recording of a disciplinary or grievance hearing, the employer is generally not obliged to agree to it.
• The employer should inform the employee about the arrangements that it has made for making a record of the hearing and explain that the employee and/or their companion may also make notes during the hearing.
• The employer should consider whether or not the duty to make reasonable adjustments for a disabled employee applies in the particular circumstances.
