When you started your business, you probably didn’t dream about drawing up workplace rules or having to handle a disciplinary issue with someone you trusted. You were focused on building, selling, serving, making things work.

But here’s the truth I’ve seen too many small business owners learn the hard way:

A great working relationship can turn difficult overnight, and when there’s no clear disciplinary code in place, it can cost you money, time, peace of mind, and even land you in a CCMA hearing you didn’t see coming. I know what it’s like to wear many hats, handling sales, admin, delivery, staff issues, and still lying awake wondering how to grow your business without everything falling apart. So when a staff issue arises, whether it's lateness, dishonesty, or insubordination, you don’t want to suddenly be scrambling for a policy, wondering if you’re even allowed to take action.

A Clear Code is a Silent Partner in Your Business

Here’s why having a disciplinary code in place matters even if you only have one or two employees:

• 🛑 It sets expectations early – So you’re not trying to fix behaviour that was never addressed in writing.

• ⚖️ It protects you legally – If things escalate to the CCMA, you can show you acted fairly and according to clear procedures.

• 🤝 It builds a healthy workplace culture – Your staff knows where they stand. You know where you stand. No grey areas.

• 🧘🏽‍♀️ It gives you peace of mind – So you can focus on running your business, not fighting fires.

I’ve seen the emotional toll this can take when things go wrong.

I’ve worked with business owners who feel overwhelmed and even betrayed, not just because of the staff issue, but because they didn’t have the right tools to deal with it confidently.

It’s Not Just a Policy — It’s Peace of Mind

Some employers think: “But I’ve never had problems with my staff before.”
That’s great. But discipline policies aren’t just for when things go wrong.
They’re part of preventing things from going wrong.

If something ever does happen (and it often does) you’ll be so glad you didn’t put it off.

Because here’s the real truth: you don’t need the drama.
Not when you’re already doing the work of three people just to keep things afloat.
