    The following best supports a decision to use the progressive disciplinary action approach:

    B) Parker wants an informal procedure for disciplining employees.

    Explanation:

    A disciplinary procedure is the way your employer deals with discipline when they believe that your conduct or performance is not up to the expected standard. Disciplinary procedures may involve something as simple as an informal chat, and escalate to involve letters, meetings and appeals

    Informal disciplinary actions include: oral or written admonishments; letters of counseling, caution, instruction or warning, as well as letters of requirement.

    These are the steps of progressive discipline actions:

    Step 1: Verbal Counseling (s) A verbal counseling is generally the first step of progressive discipline.

    Step 2: Written Warning (s) A written warning is generally the second step of progressive discipline.

    Step 3: Performance Improvement Plan (PIP).

    Step 4: Termination of Employment.

    In most cases, it is far better for the employer to resolve issues informally wherever possible. Depending on what the issue is, it may be appropriate to have an informal chat or verbal warning with someone rather than going through the process of issuing a formal warning.

    The purpose of an informal meeting is to discuss issues which would not have an appropriate place in a formal meeting. They may be designed to make one of the participants feel more at ease and more free to speak their mind than they would in a more formal setting.
