infractions don't occur (i.e. making company standards known and
understood in advance).
o Corrective Discipline:
actions that follow infractions of a rule; it seeks to discourage further
infractions so future acts will be in compliance with standards (i.e.
penalties, suspensions, etc.).

o the purpose is to give an employee an opportunity for self-correction before
more serious penalties are applied.
