Whether employees perceive fairness or justice in their treatment depends on at least two (2) other factors that are more psychological than legal in nature. First, people obviously prefer favorable outcomes for themselves. They decide the favorability of their outcomes by comparing them with the outcomes of others, given their relative situation. The decision involved the concept of DISTRIBUTIVE JUSTICE, which deals with the questions Were outcomes distributed fairly? Fairness would not include disciplinary actions based on favoritism when some are punished and others are not. Therefore fairness often is depended on employee perception. It is ultimately a subjective determination.
The second factor, PROCEDURAL JUSTICE, focuses on whether the procedures that led to an action were appropriate, were clear, and provided an opportunity for an employee input. PROCEDURAL JUSTICE deals with the question Was the decision- making process fair? Due Process is a key part of procedural justice when making promotion, pay, discipline, and other HR Decisions.
PROCEDURAL DUE PROCESS - Procedural due process refers to the system or method that a government uses to determine whether it should take action that would deprive a person of life, liberty, or property. Basic procedural due process rights afforded to people in the United States include the right to notice, a right to a hearing before an impartial decision maker, and an opportunity to raise objections. These procedural rights help protect a person from arbitrary governmental action. Procedural due process will vary based on the jurisdiction and on the interest that is at stake. For instance, a government will likely afford greater procedural protections to a person whose freedom is at stake than to someone who may lose his or her drivers license.

PROCEDURAL DUE PROCESS The Due Process Clause is essentially a guarantee of basic fairness. Fairness can, in various cases, have many components: notice, an opportunity to be heard at a meaningful time in a meaningful way, a decision supported by substantial evidence, etc. In general, the more important the individual right in question, the more process that must be afforded. No one can be deprived of their life, for example, without the rigorous protections of a criminal trial and special determinations about aggravating factors justifying death. On the other hand, suspension of a driver's license may occur without many of the same protections. (http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/FTRIALS/conlaw/proceduraldueprocess.html)
