As Alex considers the situation with Sam, she reflects on the discipline policy that the organization should implement. Identify the type of discipline policy that most organizations have in place and may also be appropriate for this company. Please choose the most appropriate answer. Progressive Discipline Positive Discipline As Alex considers the manager's request to dismiss Sam, what question should Alex immediately consider. Please choose the most appropriate answer. Can just cause for dismissal be established by the company? Was Sam warned that more issues would result in dismissal? Was Sam provided enough training? If Alex gives the manager the go ahead to dismiss Sam, what potential legal ramifications could the company face? Please also refer to chapter 4 for assistance. Choose the most appropriate answer. Sam can sue for wrongful dismissal if just cause cannot be established by the company. Sam may also have a human rights case if there are underlying health or family problems that have led to poor performance. There are no legal ramifications in this case. Sam was not performing the job and Sam was given a warning as they were previously suspended. Alex more carefully examines the situation noted in the e-mail. What advice (if any) hhould she provide the manager with in terms of if a similar situation were to arise with other employees? Please choose the most appropriate answer. Suspending an employee based on the information provided by another employee is not recommended. If a situation is reported by another employee in relation to their coworker's performance, the employee in question should be provided the opportunity to tell their side of the story. If the incident did indeed happen, a suspension may be too harsh a punishment for a first offence. We need to consider a more progressive response to discipline. The manager handled the situation appropriately, thus Alex does not need to provide the manager with further advice. Alex has to write Jim a reply. What reply is most appropriate given the facts presented in the video? Jim, Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Unfortunately given the information you provided I think we need to discuss this in person. I do not recommend dismissing Sam at this time. We should discuss this matter after I speak to head office about our discipline policy this afternoon. Alex Jim, Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Given there seems to be a pattern of bad behaviour, and given you already suspended Sam twice, I support your decision to dismiss Sam. If you would like me to be with you when you terminate Sam's employment please let me know. Alex
