Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The step that would immediately precede a threat of temporary suspension in the process of progressive discipline is an official written warning. This is usually the second step in the disciplinary process, following an unofficial spoken warning. If Lyla's behavior does not improve following the official written warning, the next step may be a threat of temporary suspension.
