Nomi. Do you have a comprehensive list of violations? Who developed it, and is it updated and maintained? I’d be interested in seeing something like this. Thanks!

Oh, you absolutely have to treat all violations of a policy the same regardless of who violated the policy. We use a point system that makes this all very easy. If this male employee had been given points for his previous bad performance and if all employees were given the same points for the same behaviors, there would not be an issue. He would either point out, or he would not. A person is given points and is notified of where they stand on a regular basis. Following this point system takes all of the objective burden off the managers and HR. You do not have to decide each case individually, the system does it for you. There are no ifs ands or buts. And if you follow the point system, there is no chance of applying disciplinary actions unfairly. If you do not follow the point system, then you are the one violating company policy.
