Progressive Discipline Steps. It is recommended that department management document all steps of the progressive discipline process as they occur, as well as warnings of further corrective action if the unacceptable performance or behavior is not corrected. In each step, department management is advised to state the next step to be taken if the performance does not improve. However, in cases of serious misconduct, the employee may be immediately terminated or suspended from the work force with Human Resources approval. The steps involved in the process may include verbal discussion, written warning, suspension without pay, final warning, or termination. Any disciplinary step may be omitted depending upon the severity of the incident.
