Discipline Policy 

As an HR leader you will, at some point in your career, be required to administer disciplinary action to EMS personnel who have violated established policies and principles. However, in order to administer appropriate levels of discipline, there must be a Discipline Policy in place. 

For this project, you are to write a Progressive Discipline Policy based on the content of both the Unit lecture, the required textbook reading, and other research. 

The finished policy must include, but is not limited to, the following: "hot stove" rule, types of infractions subject to disciplinary action, elements of the disciplinary process, and how federal, state, and local labor laws (specific to your jurisdiction) will interact with your Progressive Disciplinary Policy. 

Your finished paper should contain a minimum of four (4) pages and a maximum of six (6) pages of policy text. A Cover Page and Reference Page are required, but are not included in the page count. 

The entire paper is to be written in proper 6th Edition APA format. All references used, including the textbook, must be cited and referenced appropriately.
