-
(A) The policy provides a mechanism for maintenance of stable working conditions according to the policies and procedures of the college. Disciplinary interventions should focus on modifying and correcting employee behavior and deterring the employee from repeating past problem behavior.
(B) Corrective action and discipline should impose the least severe action necessary to correct the undesirable behavior. Stark state college reserves the right to combine or skip steps in the corrective action and disciplinary procedure depending upon the facts of each situation and the nature of the offense. The level of disciplinary intervention may vary based upon the totality of circumstances. Discipline must consider past practice and equitable treatment, and it must meet the test of just cause.
(C) Disciplinary intervention can be taken to correct problems including, but not limited to, unsatisfactory work performance, insubordination, behavior and conduct infractions, absenteeism and tardiness, negligence, violation of the college's rules and policies and procedures, and illegal activity.
