Explanation:

To ensure the best and safest possible working conditions, there are standards of conduct established, safety rules and other polices.

These rules are designed and intended to protect all of us. In most cases, by applying progressive discipline, an employee's undesirable behavior can be corrected.

Generally, the first step in the pregressive discipline process will be counseling by an employee's supervisor reduced to written form. This step may be followed by a written warning, suspension without pay and finally termination.

All employees are expected to meet standards of work performance. Work performance encompasses many factors, including attendance, punctuality, personal conduct, job proficiency and general compliance with the company's polices and procedures.

If an employee does not meet these standards, the company may, under appropriate circumstances, take corrective action, other than immediate dismissal.

The polices and standards must be written and singned by the employee.
