Progressive Discipline

Abstract

The goal of progressive discipline is to improve employee performance or eliminate inappropriate behaviors. In general, there are four steps to progressive discipline: verbal warning, written warning, suspension, and termination. One of the most important components of the progressive discipline process is follow-up. By far the most important thing to remember when it comes to discipline is to document, document, and document! Each and every disciplinary discussion should be formally documented in writing. Occasionally, employees feel they have been disciplined inappropriately. An appeals process gives the employee an opportunity to be heard. It is imperative that the progressive discipline process be clearly communicated to all employees. The best way to do this is to include the process in the employee handbook. It is important to remember that the primary goal of discipline is to change behavior, not to change the person. Controlled Vocabulary Terms Annual appeal; suspension
