The document discusses the fundamentals of progressive discipline and its best practices. It outlines the typical steps in a progressive discipline process, including verbal reminder, written reminder, final written reminder, suspension, and termination. All coaching reminders require signatures from both the manager and employee. A suspension is used as a step before termination, not as a form of punishment. Human resources approval is needed for all terminations.
