Oral warning<br \/>\n2. Written warning<br \/>\n3. Final written warning, suspension and\/or disciplinary probation<br \/>\n4. Termination of employment<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Oral Warnings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If an employee is given an oral warning, the employee is informed of the warning by his or her manager. The warning is also recorded by the manager in writing and the record is placed in the employee\u2019s personnel file.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Written Warnings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If an employee is issued a written warning or a final written warning, the manager will meet with the employee to discuss the disciplinary action and the employee will be asked to sign the warning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Disciplinary Probation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An employee may be placed on disciplinary probation for unsatisfactory performance or conduct. An employee placed on disciplinary probation will be given a written notice of probation, which generally provides an explanation of the reason for the action, the length of the probationary period and a plan of corrective action to be successfully completed during the period.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Investigative Suspension<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A suspension from work may be appropriate when circumstances require an investigation and it does not appear practical, desirable or in the best interests of the company or of the employee for the employee to remain at work during that investigation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Disciplinary Suspension<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A disciplinary suspension is a suspension from work without pay for one or more days for a repeated or serious infraction of rules or policies.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourhrworld.com\/formats\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/Discipline-Policy.doc\">Click Here To Download Discipline Policy<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discipline policy I.
