The degree of discipline imposed by Tarleton for violation of work or safety guidelines, or for other misconduct, depends upon the seriousness of the violation or in light of all the circumstances involved in a particular case.
Some violations result in termination for the first offense.
Other violations result in lesser disciplinary action for the first offense, such as a verbal reprimand, a written reprimand or suspension without pay. Heads of departments or similar administrative units are responsible for their employees being informed of the rules and regulations to be followed, the standards of conduct to be met, and the job performance to be achieved. Employees are expected to fully aquaint themselves with the rules, procedures, and standards of conduct and performance of their departments or units. Employees who do not assume the responsibilities set out by these rules, procedures, and standards may be subject to disciplinary actions. Tarleton will respect the dignity of its employees at all times.
