PAP.9.9.060 Progressive Discipline

(a) When a team member reaches four (4) occurrences during a twelve (12) month period, he/she will receive a verbal counseling documented on a counseling notice.

(b) When a team member reaches eight (8) occurrences during a twelve (12) month period, he/she will receive a written warning notice.

(c) When a team member reaches ten (10) occurrences during a twelve (12) month period; he/she will receive a final written warning notice.

(d) If a team member reaches twelve (12) occurrences during a twelve (12) month period, he/she will be terminated for cause. Whether an incident is considered an occurrence is not determined by whether the team member has PTO available to cover the incident.

(e) Absences and tardiness will be combined into a number of total occurrences, which will be used when taking disciplinary action to correct attendance problems. When a team member reaches any level of progressive discipline for attendance related reasons they will be required to meet with the Human Resource Manager, or designee. A Director/Manager may refer a team member to the Human Resource Manager, or designee at any occurrence level.

(f) A twelve (12) month period is defined as the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the last attendance infraction.

(g) Probationary team members fall under special rules of conduct:

(1) Six (6) occurrence points = termination

(2) No Call / No Show = termination

(3) Directors/Managers of probationary team members must submit at least one written record as documentation in reference to the unacceptable conduct of the probationary team member prior to termination occurring. However, in the event of a no call/ no show, serious/major/criminal offense, or a serious violation of the Gaming Enterprises policy, termination can occur without any prior written record.
