DISCIPLINE & DISCHARGE
In this SLP assignment we will continue looking at the process of disciplining and discharging employees. Nearly everyone has experience with that process in some manner--either as the employee being disciplined / discharged, as the employer who disciplines/discharges others, or in some other way.
Please think about your own experiences disciplining and /or discharging employees. Or, think about your own discipline/discharge experiences with you as the employee, or stories about employee discipline and/or discharge from your friends or relatives.
Please discuss TWO different discipline and/or discipline situations
In each of the two scenarios that you provide, what led up to the employer's decision? Did everything go well from an HRM perspective? Discuss the process, and also the strengths and drawbacks of the approach taken by the supervisor or HRM representative.
From the employee's perspective, was the discipline/discharge viewed as fair?
Were the employer actions challenged in either of the examples that you provide? Please discuss.
Turn in this paper by the module due date. Paper length: 2-3 pages, not counting the cover and reference pages.
