Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The next step in the discipline process should be a written warning. A verbal warning has already been given and the problem is persisting, so a more official record of the issue is necessary. This written warning should clearly state expectations, consequences for not meeting those expectations, and a timeline for improvement. It also serves as documentation for any further disciplinary actions that may need to be taken. Early retirement package and termination may be too severe for a first offense, while time off without pay may have minimal impact on someone who is already having attendance issues.
