Discipline varies depending on the circumstances of the case, the more serious the matter, the more serious the penalty. A persons employment history must also be considered, as should their personal circumstances such as health, family situation and so on. Whilst employees should not bring private issues into the workplace, it does have an impact on how a person deals with work issues. Disciplinary outcomes can include:
- Reprimand;
- Loss of one or more pay increments;
- Monetary fines;
- Demotion either permanently or for a period of time (1-2 years);
- Termination.
