Discipline and Corrective Action

How policy violations are investigated and addressed.

Discipline policy explains how complaints are investigated, how findings are determined, and what types of corrective actions are available. It may describe progressive discipline, mitigating and aggravating factors, and appeal rights. Promotion candidates should understand the range of corrective tools such as coaching, counseling, written reprimands, suspensions, and termination, and when each is appropriate.
