This is also known as procedural fairness, however some argue that there are differences between the two terms. The essential elements of natural justice are as follows:
- No bias, and
- The right to be heard
Procedural fairness however, it has been argued covers more than just the decision making process (where a decision may be made that has an adverse affect on a person). Procedural fairness requires the employer to be fair at all times during a process, from providing sufficient time to respond, to allowing a support person to be present during interviews and following the employers own policy framework.
