EMPLOYEE DISCIPLINARY ACTION POLICY INTRODUCTION The Employee Disciplinary Action Policy outlines the guidelines and procedures for addressing employee misconduct, unacceptable behavior, and poor performance within [COMPANY NAME]. This Policy aims to promote a fair and consistent approach to disciplinary actions while fostering a productive work environment. All employees are expected to adhere to the standards set forth in this Policy. SCOPE This Policy applies to all employees at [COMPANY NAME], including full-time, part-time, temporary, and contract workers. It covers disciplinary actions for a wide range of infractions, such as misconduct, violation of company policies, poor performance, insubordination, and any other behavior that adversely affects the workplace or the organization's interests. PROGRESSIVE DISCIPLINE Our organization follows a progressive discipline approach, which typically involves the following steps: Verbal Warning: The initial step in addressing employee misconduct or poor performance is a verbal warning. The supervisor or manager will have a private conversation with the employee, discussing the concerns and providing guidance on how to improve. Written Warning: If the employee's behavior or performance does not improve after the verbal warning, a written warning will be issued. The written warning document will outline the specific issues, expectations for improvement, and consequences of continued misconduct or poor performance. Final Written Warning: If the employee's behavior or performance still does not meet the expected standards, a final written warning may be issued. This warning emphasizes the seriousness of the situation and may include a performance improvement plan or other corrective measures. Suspension: In cases of severe misconduct or repeated violations, a temporary suspension without pay may be imposed. The duration of the suspension will be determined based on the severity of the offense and the organization's policies.
