Answer to Question 2

Corrective interview 1. The purpose of this first follow-up step is to verify the violation and warn the em-ployee. Verification means critical documentation. Although required documentation varies among organizations, basically it should include (1) a specific description of the violation; (2) the name of the violator, the date it occurred, and the date of the corrective interview; and (3) the written acknowledgment or rebuttal of the employee. A corrective interview 1 is, in effect, a documented first warning.
Corrective interview 2. This interview need not take place unless a further violation is reported. If a second incident (even a different violation) is reported, the second interview should take place with the same documentation procedure. This meeting becomes a second warning.
Corrective interview 3. This interview is necessary only if a third violation occurs. The procedure will vary according to each organization (and legal counsel) but generally will include (1) a third person (upper manage-ment person, representative from the human resources department, or staff lawyer); (2) a review and presentation of previous documented warnings; and (3) notice of termination. Whatever the procedure, the supervisor should permit two-way communication and attempt to show the employee that he or she has been treated fairly. The rights of the employee must be protected at all costs.
