| Disciplinary Procedures for Staff | |
| It
is the policy of the University that supervisory efforts should be concentrated
on the prevention of serious personnel problems rather than on disciplining
employees for misconduct. However, supervisors shall have the right to discipline
or summarily discharge an employee for cause. An employee being disciplined
should be told what he/she has done wrong and should clearly understand
what is expected of him/her. For repeated but relatively minor incidents of substandard performance, misconduct, or rule violations, corrective counseling and discipline should be progressive. The normal sequence of action is: (1) Initial discussion; (2) Oral Warning; (3) Written Reprimand; (4) Suspension; (5) Discharge. Depending on the severity of the case, the action may begin at any of these steps. Any action involving suspension or discharge requires prior review by the Associate Director for Employee Relations & Training or the Director of Human Resources. (This includes discharge of a probationary employee.) Please refer to University of North Texas Policy Manual, Vol. I, Classification Number 1.7.1 for more information. |
