Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An official written warning would precede immediately a written warning along with a threat of temporary suspension. The principles of justice suggest that the organization prepare for problems by establishing a formal discipline process in which the consequences become more serious if the employee repeats the offense. Such a system is called progressive discipline. A typical progressive discipline system identifies and communicates unacceptable behaviors and responds to a series of offenses-spoken and then written warnings, temporary suspension, and finally, termination.
