🔍 Key Concepts

• Progressive discipline systems usually start with the least severe action and increase severity with repeated violations. • Distinguish between actions that are documented in the personnel file and those that are more informal. • Understand the relative severity of oral warnings, written reprimands, and suspension/discharge.

💭 Think About

• Which option reflects the mildest corrective step that still attempts to change behavior? • In a typical progressive discipline ladder, which step usually comes before written reprimand and suspension? • How does documentation in the personnel file change the seriousness of the action?

✅ Before You Answer

• Compare which option is most severe and likely used for repeated or serious offenses, not a first minor offense. • Decide whether a first offense in a progressive system is more likely to be documented or kept less formal. • Rank the choices from least to most severe first, then see which one logically fits as a first step.
