You have recently employed someone who consistently breaks the rules, for example, they regularly arrive late

for work, do not do what is asked of them; they take excessive breaks and are often socially chatting to others

in the workplace for extended periods when there are pressing deadlines to meet. Their work is often not up to

scratch, and you have to ask them to re-do certain elements. Think about how you would feel and react, and

what you would do to ensure you address the issues, but do not transgress the rights of the individual.

a. Describe how you would manage a disciplinary issue with this employee.

b. Describe how you would manage poor performance with this employee.

c. Try to imagine all the transgressions someone in the workplace could commit. Create a bullet point list of what should be in your internal disciplinary code. Indicate whether they are all equally serious.
