Description
Instructions Progressive Discipline Policy You are the manager of a rural, for-profit EMS agency, and the agency in the adjoining county just got hit with a lawsuit alleging unlawful termination. As such, the director of your agency has asked you to come up with a progressive discipline policy for use in your organization. Follow the guidelines below in creating your policy: If you currently work for an agency, do NOT use your organization’s existing progressive discipline policy, if there is one. This policy should be new, original work. Write a one-paragraph introduction that highlights the major points in the policy, and state why you chose certain aspects. For instance, decide if the agency is located in an at-will employment state, and describe what components are necessary in your introduction. Also, if the agency is unionized, describe union regulations that must be adhered to in the policy. Create a fictional city name, agency name, and name for the agency director, and include these in your introduction paragraph. Include all steps in the policy—from the initial warning to the final step of termination—along with any timelines or signature spaces for each step. Distinguish among normal error, at risk, and reckless behaviors. Provide information about what actions may constitute skipping steps in the plan to allow for immediate termination. Your policy must be at least two pages in length and include at least two outside sources, one of which may be your textbook. Adhere to APA Style when creating citations and references for this assignment. APA formatting, however, is not necessary.
