Carlos has just resolved three different disciplinary cases involving tardiness issues with three different employees. Each employee was given a different disciplinary action. One employee received a written warning, one employee received an informal talk, and another received suspension or layoff. Which of the following circumstances would warrant such action on the part of Carlos?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best explanation for the different disciplinary actions is that the three employees had different records of previous offenses of the same nature. It is likely that the employee who received a written warning had fewer previous incidents of tardiness than the employee who received suspension or layoff. Carlos may have taken into account the employees' past behavior and the severity of their current tardiness incident when deciding on the appropriate disciplinary action.
