Disciplinary Actions

Maintaining discipline usually is not a problem within a work environment where reasonable rules and standards of conduct and performance are clearly communicated and consistently and equitably enforced. There are situations of misconduct or delinquency, however, where there is no alternative but to penalize. In these instances, management's options, in order of least severe to most severe, include Oral admonishments, Reprimands, Suspensions, Reductions in grade and/or pay and Removal.
