Chapter 26: Employee Discipline.....................................................................
You can record and track disciplinary actions within your company using
the Discipline Entry window. You can record employee problems and
follow-up information about problems—even if the resolution requires
several steps or stages. You also will use the Discipline Entry window to
document incidents, record and track significant dates and include
comments about the incidents.
Because disciplinary actions for a single incident can involve more than one
stage, you can enter many stages for each disciplinary action. You can use
the default disciplinary stages included with your Human Resources
program, or you can create stages to suit your company’s specific needs.
Human Resources includes a points system that you can use to monitor
discipline and performance. You can use the points system to track
increases or decreases in an employee’s points. Points can be positive or
negative, depending on your company’s points system. For example, some
organizations use points as a reward system, increasing points for good
attendance and quality work, and decreasing points for excessive absences
and other problems.
This information is divided into the following sections:
- Adding an employee discipline record
- Modifying an employee discipline record
- Closing or deleting an employee discipline record
- Adjusting or deleting employee discipline points
Adding an employee discipline record.................................................................................
Use the Discipline Entry window to manage your employee discipline
records. You can add an employee discipline record, track the type of
disciplinary action taken, modify the record, and add notes or comments to
the record. If you use a points system, you can award or decrease points for
each employee. When a discipline record no longer needs to be active, you
can close it. You can also delete discipline records.
