Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Before taking disciplinary action, a supervisor should consider an employee's past record to ensure that the punishment fits the offense and is not disproportionate. This helps to maintain fairness and consistency in the workplace. The other options (B, C, D) are not appropriate because it is important to discuss with the employee why the infraction occurred, involve others if necessary for fair investigations, and apply consequences even if the employee is honest about the situation.
