Health-Tech Materials is a firm that manufactures medical equipment purchased by hospitals and clinics. The firm employs over 2,500 workers in its two manufacturing facilities located in Texas and Arizona. Recently, Health-Tech dismissed a number of employees for ethics violations ranging from improper Internet usage to stealing company funds. In addition, the firm has been sued by two former employees for wrongful discharge. As a result, Health-Tech's top executives are evaluating the firm's hiring process, ethics training system, reward system, and disciplinary system to determine how to promote ethics and fair treatment.
Which of the following undermines the argument that Health-Tech should shift from a traditional discipline system to a nonpunitive discipline system?
◦ Health-Tech has already modified its hiring process to include ethics tests when screening job applicants.
◦ A court ruled in a wrongful discharge case against Health-Tech that the employee handbook served as an implied contract.
◦ The most common employee discipline situations at Health-Tech involve theft or physical altercations.
◦ Frequent tardiness is the primary infraction among Health-Tech employees who receive decision-making leave.
