Verbal Warning Probation Written Warning Suspension Termination Other_________
Steps may be bypassed if the violations warrant it. Disciplinary action is under the discretion of the Full Time Recreation Staff.
Once an employee receives three occurrences of the same category, four occurrences all of varying categories or has a violation that warrants anything past a written warning a meeting will take place with the employee and a Full Time Recreation Staff Member.
Warnings will be documented on a Coaching Report Log and are based on a per category progression. However, cumulative write ups across all categories may result in further disciplinary action up to and including termination and/or may affect your rehire status. Consideration will be given to the nature of the incident, the frequency of the violation and the employees overall work record.
