What is a policy for progressive discipline?
It is a disciplinary policy and procedure designed to provide structure to a process of corrective action to improve and many times prevent a repeat of undesirable employee behavior and performance issues.
If you have employees in your church or organization then you should have a similar policy in place. If you do not have a policy such as this one in place then you can use the sample below to use as a guide to create one for your church, organization...
The Progressive Disciplinary policy below includes:
- Heading - Includes the name of the policy
- Statement - The following progressive discipline actions should be performed given the nature of the offense (serious offenses such as sexual or physical assault and/or theft will have zero tolerance).
- Verbal Warning - 1. Employee will be given a verbal warning regarding their undesirable behavior or action. 2. Employee will be given an explanation of when and how the behavior or action took place. This will include the reason as to why the behavior or action was unacceptable. (See policy below to continue the verbal warnings.)
- Written Warning - 1. Employee will be given a written warning regarding their undesirable behavior or action in the event that their behavior or action had either been discussed in a previous verbal warning or their behavior or action was considerably severe in nature. 2. Employee will be given an explanation of when and how their behavior or action took place. This will include the reason as to why the behavior or action as unacceptable. (See policy below to continue the written warnings.)
- Suspension - 1. Employee will be given a written documentation regarding the suspension in relation to their undesirable behavior or action in the event that their behavior or action had either been discussed in a previous verbal or written warning or their behavior or action was considerably severe in nature. 2. The documentation will include information on the offense and the length of the term of suspension and why the employee has been suspended. (See policy below to continue the suspension warnings.)
- Termination - 1. Employee will be given a written documentation regarding their termination and the undesirable behavior or action leading to and justifying the termination. 2. The documentation will include information on the offense and previous disciplinary communications with the employee. (See policy below to continue the termination warnings.)
Almost always, behavioral problems in the workplace ends up where supervisors are forced to take action to ensure that the undesirable behavior or problem is contained and resolved. You cannot underestimate the importance of discipline in an organization or workplace because employee morale, productivity, etc. can be adversely affected.

*Terressa! I received the discs today!! A few years back I was at a small church that used your software and it was perfect for their volunteers to use. The church I am at now has 2 volunteer secretaries and one found your product and I gushed!!! Her first request is a directory so this will be perfect. God Bless you for creating such a great system (Shepherdbase). Regards - Tonya - OK - U.S.

*This is the 1st time I've visited your website and I just wanted to say "thank you". I go to a very small Christian Church and thanks to you, the forms you have for a children's ministry will keep me from having to "reinvent the wheel" and I am very grateful to you. We are a very small church (about 40 regular attendees) and 90% of those are over 65. We just had a young couple offer to help us get a Youth Group. Thanks to you, we won't have to do to much to get this off and running for the holiday season. Thanks again! - Kentucky - U.S.

*I do the tithes at the end of the year for a very small outreach in the city of Detroit. They had been paying thousands of dollars every several years trying to keep a database of their donors.
I searched last year for something less costly for them and came across your database (Shepherdbase). It is a blessing and so appreciated. Thank you for all your hard work and thank you for Giving To The Lord. Peacemakers Int. in Detroit on Chene street is another ministry you have blessed. - Charlene - U.S. *Disclaimer
*This website has been very useful for my ministries with Hospice, the Hospital and Human Services. I recommend this website to any church, ministry or agency that is supporting or ministering to people. God Bless You - Chaplain Dave - U.S. *Disclaimer
*Just wanted to let you know how helpful your resources are. We are a small church and have missed out on doing a lot of things. We ordered your Church Forms on CD and are just pleased. Keep up the good work of providing resources for Churches. - Lillian - U.S. *Disclaimer
*I am a minister of the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and have been tremendously blessed to access you and pray that God the Almighty favor you in what you do. You have enabled me to access ready-designed church documents. Thanks and God Bless You Terressa. - Bro. Mike - Kenya, Africa *Disclaimer
*Thank You! You're heart for giving free resources and making things so affordable is truly a blessing. My Pastor always says: "What you make happen for someone else, God will make happen for you!" May God richly bless you and your ministry to us and so many others, enlarge your territory and bring financial blessings with good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over!!! 10,000 Blessings! Leeanna - U.S. *Disclaimer
*Thanks for making this site available. I took over as secretary of our small church a few months ago, and I am having to create a lot of forms. This site is a blessing! - Vicki - U.S. *Disclaimer
