Early Warning System

The Early Warning System is designed to detect patterns and trends before the conduct escalates into more serious problems.  As such, employees must understand that the early warning system is not identical to the disciplinary process.  Although it is possible that disciplinary action may be taken as the result of evidence that rules and regulations were violated, this is not the sole or even primary intent of the system.  The primary intent of an early warning system is to address potential problems through the use of appropriate management and supervisory strategies before formal discipline is warranted.
