The scope of the policy covers all levels of employees, including fixed-term, permanent, part-time, interns, and casual workers.

The policy stipulates that the Supervisor or a management representative is responsible for conducting a thorough investigation of the alleged misconduct or unsatisfactory performance before taking any disciplinary action. If the Supervisor determines that disciplinary action is necessary, the employee will receive a verbal warning as stage one of the disciplinary procedure.

The final written warning is stage three, and if there is no satisfactory improvement within the prescribed time frame, then employment may be terminated. The company reserves the right to decide whether and what disciplinary action to take based on the situation.

The policy allows for the documentation of the verbal and written warning, which will be stored in the employee's file for a specific period, subject to the employee's satisfactory conduct and performance throughout that period. Additionally, the policy stresses that all matters relating to the disciplinary proceedings will be kept strictly confidential and will not be divulged to any parties not involved in the disciplinary process. Furthermore, the policy states that nothing in the document creates new contractual rights between the company and the employee or alters the employment-at-will relationship between the two parties.
