Answer to Question 1

Objectivity and consistency are critical when enforcing rules. Objectivity means that rules are enforced without bias. Consistency means that the rules are enforced in the same manner every time with no regard to any outside factors. This means that the same punishment is assigned regardless of who commits the infraction. Objectivity and consistency are similar but different concepts in that one can be consistent without being objective.

Answer to Question 2

The law tends to view employees who do not meet these three criteria as being negligent. Having the rules is not enough. Having rules and making employees aware of them is not enough. Employers must develop appropriate rules, familiarize all employees with them, and enforce the rules. It is this final stepenforcementfrom which most negligence charges arise.
