Book Description
The purpose of this research project was to create a guide for use by the employee as well as the supervisor when dealing with matters of discipline. The need for such a guide became evident during this past year when the disciplinary process had to be put in motion and an employee terminated. This is the first time in over ten years that an employee had to be terminated from our department. It became apparent that the employees were not aware of their rights and means of recourse. During this process I spent countless hours in meetings or on the phone with the Employee Relations Department to ensure that the measures I was taking were correct. My superiors also requested that they be kept informed of the employees progress and the effects of progressive discipline on the employee.
