The progressive discipline system at UMS has been established, communicated to employees through both face$-$to$-$face meetings and classroom training, as well as sent via emall and posted on the company's intranet. All UMS employees are required to sign a document stating they have recelved the details of the progressive discipline system and understand the policy.

Yesterday, Sophia, UMS's recruitment manager, met with one of her employees to discuss not meeting the established goals. This would be the final step of the new progsi discipline system before the employee would be terminated. Which step in the progressive discipline system will the employee experience?
