3.1
Disciplinary and Corrective Action
Disciplinary action at COPC is intended to fairly and impartially correct behaviors and performance problems and to prevent reoccurrence. If a manager speaks to an employee about a problem, they are to take it seriously the first time and take appropriate steps to correct the misconduct. We want to work with employees to overcome problems and correct behaviors; therefore, corrective action and/or disciplinary measures may be used. Corrective measures may involve any of the following, in any order: Performance Improvement Plan (PIP), verbal warning, written warning, final written warning, suspension with or without pay, and/or termination of employment, depending on the severity of the problem and the frequency of occurrence. COPC reserves the right to
administer disciplinary action at its sole discretion and based upon the circumstances. There may be circumstances when one or more steps are bypassed due to the serious nature of the offense and an employee may be terminated without prior notice. Employees on any form of corrective action may not be eligible for certain programs, benefits, bonuses, transfers of employment, et cetera, as specified for the active duration of the corrective action. While that active duration period may vary based on the severity of the situation, most employees will become eligible for previously excluded programs, benefits, bonuses, and transfers of employment after a period of six (6) months if there were no further infractions.
