Disciplinary Layoff

Updated:

11/12/24

A disciplinary layoff is a temporary suspension of an employee from their job as a result of violating workplace policies or standards. This action is typically employed to address serious misconduct and to uphold discipline within the organization. It serves as a corrective measure, allowing the employee time to reflect on their actions while maintaining the integrity of workplace standards. Unlike termination, a disciplinary layoff is intended to be temporary, with the possibility of the employee returning to work once the issue has been resolved or the suspension period has ended.
