About Ethics Justice and Fair Treatment MCQs
This HRM topic deals with fairness at work and the end of employment. Questions ask you to classify procedural justice as fairness of the process, define a code of ethics as the standards of conduct expected of staff, and recognise insubordination as wilful disobedience. You will also meet non-punitive discipline that uses oral warnings and paid decision-making leave, dismissal as involuntary termination, layoffs as temporary separation, exit interviews with departing staff and outplacement counselling that helps dismissed employees find new jobs. Clear definitions are the key to these items.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between procedural and distributive justice?
Procedural justice is about whether the process used to make decisions is fair, consistent and transparent. Distributive justice is about whether the outcomes, such as pay or promotions, are fair. Employees often accept an unwelcome outcome if they believe the process was fair.
What is outplacement counselling?
Outplacement counselling is a formal service in which a dismissed or laid-off employee is trained and supported to find a new job. It usually covers self-assessment, CV writing, interview practice and job search techniques, and is often paid for by the former employer.
