Question

Tri-Mart dismissed an employee who was caught stealing items from the store stockroom. In retaliation, the employee is threatening to file a lawsuit claiming race discrimination. Assuming the discipline was based on facts, not bias, how can Tri-Mart best protect itself from being liable for such claims

A. by establishing and following a formal discipline policy, so discipline is fair
B. by disclosing personal information showing the employee is not trustworthy
C. by avoiding any implied agreements with the employees it hires
D. by never asking employees to do anything illegal
E. by conducting random searches more frequently

Answer 1

Option A is right, by establishing and following a formal discipline policy, so discipline is fair.

Step-by-step explanation:

Every organization has its rules and regulation, which include following all the discipline policies of the company. When an employee does not follow them, the company can dismiss that employee. The same thing happened at the Tri-mart. If Tri-mart can prove that they established and followed all the discipline policies, they can protect themselves.
