The Pattern. The pattern of this discipline procedure is progressive - from oral warning(s); written reprimand(s); and suspension(s); demotions; to the ultimate penalty of discharge. However, there are cases where the action is of such a serious nature that suspension or discharge is justifiable even on a first offense. Progressive discipline is a program in which the penalties become progressively more severe in accordance with progressive seriousness of the infraction(s). Suspension may be with or without pay.
