CORRECTIVE ACTION
The Company’s best interest lies in ensuring appropriate treatment of all employees and
in making certain that corrective actions are made promptly and impartially. The major
purpose of any action is to correct the problem, prevent recurrence, and prepare you for
satisfactory service in the future. Although employment with YFAI is based on mutual
consent and both the employee and YFAI have the right to terminate employment at
will, with or without cause or advance notice, YFAI may use progressive discipline at its
discretion. Before or during imposition of a discipline, employees may be given an
opportunity to relate their version of the incident or problem at issue and provide any
explanation or justification they consider relevant.
Where appropriate, a policy of progressive corrective actions will be followed.
Verbal Warning:
This is a verbal warning that your conduct is unacceptable and
that further infractions will lead to more severe penalties. This warning will be
documented and placed in your personnel file.
Written Warning:
This warning will describe the unacceptable conduct or
performance, and specify the improvement needed. This written warning will be
documented and placed in your personnel file.
Final Warning With or Without Suspension
:
The length of the suspension will
vary based on such factors as the severity of the infraction, your performance
and disciplinary record. You may be suspended for repeated instances of minor
misconduct, or for a single serious offense. A suspension will be an unpaid
penalty time period. A record of suspension will be retained in your personnel
file.
Termination:
If you fail to improve your conduct or performance, you may be
subject to termination of employment. You may also be discharged immediately
depending on the severity and specifics of the case.
Notwithstanding the foregoing progressive disciplinary procedure policy, YFAI reserves
the right to administer corrective actions in such a manner as it deems appropriate to
the circumstances, and may, in its sole discretion, eliminate any or all of the steps in the
progressive corrective actions procedure. Progressive corrective actions will stay
“active” for a 12 month rolling period.
If trends in poor working habits or performance continue, you are subject to termination
of your employment. By using progressive performance and corrective actions, we
hope that most employee problems can be corrected at an early stage, benefiting both
the employee and the Company.
