Common use of Disciplinary Steps Clause in Contracts

Disciplinary Steps. The procedures in the Employee Handbook have been developed to provide employees with an understanding of what can be expected if rule violations or misconduct occur. As it is not possible to anticipate the circumstances under which every conceivable infraction could take place, employees should not view these procedures as all inclusive or as specifying the appropriate discipline. However, these procedures should provide guidelines on protocols GCA Education Services will attempt to follow in many situations when verbal instruction or counseling is not effective. These steps are only guidelines, and GCA Education Services reserves the right to strip steps and to impose such discipline it deems appropriate.
