  5. Discipline & Grievance Handling Ground Rules in Disciplining Employees : • Employees should know what they can and can’t do. • You should clearly communicate the discipline that will take place if employees break your rules. • For this reason, company need to have a good disciplinary policy in place and well communicated to everyone. 2 – 5

  6. Discipline & Grievance Handling Disciplinary Policy : • The policy must be communicated to employees by periodically providing a copy, posting it, or including it in an employee handbook. • Employees should be required to sign an acknowledgment that they have received and read the policy. • The policy also should be covered in new employee orientation. 2 – 6

  7. Discipline & Grievance Handling Reasons for failure to Impose Disciplinary Penalty : 1. The supervisor failed to document earlier actions, so no record existed on which to base subsequent disciplinary action. 2. Supervisors believed they would receive little or no support from higher management for the disciplinary action. 3. The supervisor was uncertain of the facts underlying the situation requiring disciplinary action. 4. Failure by the supervisor to discipline employees in the past for a certain infraction caused the supervisor to forgo current disciplinary action in order to appear consistent. 5. The supervisor wanted to be seen as a likable person. 2 – 7

  8. Discipline & Grievance Handling Setting Organizational Rules : 1. The rules must be reasonable and relate to the safe and efficient operation of the organization. 2. The rules as well as the consequences for breaking them should be written down and widely disseminated to all employees. Neglecting to communicate the rules is a major reason disciplinary actions taken against employees are reversed. 3. The rules should be clearly explained. Employees are more likely to accept a rule if they understand the reason behind it. 4. Employees should sign a document stating that they have read and understand the organizational rules. The rules should be reviewed periodically — perhaps annually — 5. especially those rules critical to work success. 2 – 8
