A quick definition of Progressive discipline:

Progressive discipline is a way for employers to handle problems with how an employee behaves or does their job. It starts with a talk about what needs to change, and if the employee doesn't improve, they get more serious warnings. If the employee still doesn't improve, they might lose their job. It's like getting in trouble with your parents - you get a warning, and if you keep doing the same thing, you might get grounded or lose privileges.

A more thorough explanation:

Progressive discipline

Progressive discipline is a process that employers use to address employee behavior and performance issues. It involves a series of disciplinary actions that increase in severity if the employee's performance does not improve after receiving notice. The process typically begins with a verbal warning, followed by written warnings, suspension, and ultimately termination if the employee fails to improve.

Example 1: An employee consistently arrives late to work without a valid reason. The employer may start with a verbal warning, followed by a written warning if the behavior continues. If the employee still fails to improve, they may be suspended or terminated.

Example 2: An employee is not meeting their sales targets despite receiving training and coaching. The employer may start with a written warning, followed by a performance improvement plan. If the employee still fails to improve, they may be terminated.

Progressive discipline is a fair and consistent approach to addressing employee behavior and performance issues. It gives employees the opportunity to improve their performance and behavior before facing more severe consequences. The examples illustrate how employers can use progressive discipline to address different types of issues, such as attendance and performance. By following a structured process, employers can ensure that they are treating employees fairly and consistently.
