Discipline for Misconduct

As an at-will employer, the Company may impose discipline whenever it determines it is necessary or appropriate.

Discipline may take various forms, including verbal counseling, written warnings, suspension, demotion, transfer, reassignment or termination.

You May Be Disciplined or Terminated

The discipline imposed will depend on the circumstances of each case; therefore, discipline will not necessarily be imposed in any particular sequence. Moreover, at any time the Company determines it is appropriate, an employee may be terminated immediately.

Every organization must have certain standards of conduct to guide the behavior of employees. Although there is no possible way to identify every rule of conduct, the following is an illustrative list (not intended to be comprehensive or to limit the Company’s right to impose discipline for any other conduct it deems inappropriate).

Discipline for Misconduct is Serious

Keep in mind that these standards of conduct apply to all employees whenever they are on Company property and/or conducting Company business in company cars or at customer’s homes.

Engaging in any conduct the Company deems inappropriate may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
