Discipline progression

[Theichii]

How does discipline work?

Is it:
1. Verbal
2. Documented Talk With
3. Warning
4. Intent to terminate

then if you mess up again

5. Firing?

is that the way it works?

Basically.

Is there a reason for your query or are you just curious?

 

[Jones]

Talk with is nice, but not contractually required. If they want to go full speed ahead it's warning letter, suspension, termination. Check your supplement for any local variations.

 

[Theichii]

just curious i mean intent to terminate is not actually termination? or is it just a hey you better not screw up anymore?

 

[Theichii]

not that i ever plan to get there just saying

For a Cardinal skip all and go straight to #5.

It takes a serious commitment by the employee to reach level 5. We had one driver with 150 call ins within a one year period and was still driving. As you say though break one cardinal rule and all bets are off.

I thought it was:

warning letter,
1 day suspension,
3 day suspension,
5 day suspension,
then termination or center manager position.

what are the cardinals.\?
we had two roll aways and nothing happened to the drivers.

 

[dilligaf]

Lying, stealing, fighting (fist), what else?

 

[stevetheupsguy]

Cardinal is anything you do, after pissing off the center manager.

 

[redshift1]

I can remember first offense terminations for :

Workplace violence.
Serious accident/Unreported accident.
Theft.
Manipulating COD money.
Drug use.

Another cardinal sin was giving an unauthoized person a ride in your PC

We have had drivers caught stealing, roll aways, fighting, girlfriend in feeder, etc and never terminated.

in 15 yrs have had 3 drivers actually terminated. two for second bad drug test and one for dealing drugs out of truck.

i quess drugs are the big no no.
