Discipline for professional employees

Article Abstract:

Many firms discipline professional employees differently than they do hourly employees. Many firms typically lack a formal, clearly delineated policy for disciplining professional employees, but prudent employers will implement discipline policies after defining performance standards. A good discipline policy will have several major components, including progressive discipline, unbiased implementation, and standardized documentation. Progressive discipline is a four-step process: a documented discussion between the supervisor and the employee, with the documentation remaining with the supervisor; another supervisor-employee documented discussion, with the documentation placed in the employee's personnel file; another discussion that includes a probationary period; and termination.
