​The Staff Disciplinary Board

The Staff Disciplinary Board deals with matters to do with disciplinary offences, criminal complaints, suspension and termination of employment due to personal reasons. 

Section 25 of the Government Agencies Ordinance (2007:515) requires the Staff Disciplinary Board to address issues related to

1. termination of employment for personal reasons, when employment is not probationary
2. disciplinary offences
3. criminal complaints
4. suspension

The Staff Disciplinary Board meets on six pre-arranged occasions each year but may also be convened at other times if necessary.

Government Disciplinary Board for Higher Officials

The Government Disciplinary Board for Higher Officials examines matters concerning disciplinary offences, criminal complaints, dismissal, suspension and compulsory medical examination in relation to senior government employees such as agency heads, judges, prosecutors and professors.

The purpose of conducting an assessment outside the public authority where the employee works and holds a senior position is to prevent any suspicion that colleagues may take unauthorised considerations into account during the assessment. The Board's decision, like other employer decisions, may become the subject of a labour law dispute.

Reporting a matter to the Staff Disciplinary Board or the Government Disciplinary Board for Higher Officials

There are specific rules for reporting a matter to the Staff Disciplinary Board or the Government Disciplinary Board for Higher Officials. Individuals cannot report a matter. Reports are made by managers in consultation with HR. 

It is primarily the Vice-Chancellor who decides whether to bring the report to the Staff Disciplinary Board or to send the report from Lund University to the Government Disciplinary Board for Higher Officials.
