BASIC PRINCIPLES OF DISCIPLINARY ACTION

• Disciplinary action should not be taken unless there is an obvious need for it.
• The reason for the disciplinary action should be made clear. In case of negative action, the statement
of the reasons should be accompanied by an explanation of the manner in which the disciplinary
action can be avoided in the future.
• Give the employee a chance to explain his side of the story and do not argue. This is due process
and by doing so, you can discover the reasons behind his action.
• There should be consistency of disciplinary actions. No favoritism or discrimination should be
allowed. Consistency in disciplinary action is more important than severity.
• Reproof or reprimand should be given as soon as possible after the occurrence of the act. Right
timing is important.
