Employee entitled to due process in disciplinary actions. • Advance warning of grounds for termination. Except in extreme cases (theft, gross negligence), employees warned about inappropriate behavior and given chance to correct behaviors.

  35. Determine actions that entail discipline and levels of discipline. • Set a schedule of communications appropriate to infractions. • Verbal Warning, written warning, suspension, termination. • Minor infractions, significant infractions, major infractions.
