Question

A union contract normally details the process called progressive discipline. How would you counsel nonunion employers to deal with the process?

A. Progressive discipline is required only for union-represented organizations.
B. There is no need for nonunion employers to have a progressive discipline process since they are probably "at-will" employers and can terminate employees any time.
C. Progressive discipline is a good process for any employer. It offers "due process" to workers. And, it satisfies the legal covenant called "good faith and fair dealing."
D. Employers can consider using progressive discipline, but absent a union contract, there is little motivation to use the process.

Answer 1

Progressive discipline is a good process for any employer as it offers due process to workers and satisfies the legal covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

Step-by-step explanation:

C. Progressive discipline is a good process for any employer. It offers 'due process' to workers and satisfies the legal covenant called 'good faith and fair dealing'.

Progressive discipline is a system that allows employers to address and correct employee misconduct or performance issues through a series of increasingly severe consequences. The process typically involves verbal warnings, written warnings, suspension, and ultimately termination.

While nonunion employers may not be required by law to have a progressive discipline process, implementing one can help create a fair and consistent approach to managing employee behavior.
