In the context of violence in the workplace, most employers have adopted a zero-tolerance policy, which, in general, allows them to override the principle of gradation in disciplinary measures and terminate the employee at fault immediately. However, before determining the appropriate disciplinary measure in the circumstances, the employer must respect various obligations and the conduct of an investigation may often be necessary.
