The employer would probably give the individual some time off (maybe a week or so) to sort themselves out, and most likely suggest a counselling service. Performance monitoring would take place also to make sure domestic issues weren't affecting work performance. But that's where it ends really, after that it would be left to the individual and the judicial system to sort out.
As far as I'm concerned the Crows have gone over and above employee responsibility, imposing in house penalties and organising (rather than just referring) support and counselling.
My attitute is that 'those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones'. I'm sure most of us have made a major mistake that we still regret to this day, we're just lucky that our actions are of no interest to the wider public.
LMAO. All this duty of care due process touchy feely crap. Stevens is out and they are playing the Cats so they need Bock. Lets not delude ourselves here. If I belted my missus and ended up recording a conviction I'd be out on my arse so lets not drag up that chestnut.
Shaw touches an umpire and Bock belts his missus and its all the same in the AFL fish bowl. Play on ha ha.
