NEW WORKDAY FEATURE IN THE DISCIPLINARY BUSINESS PROCESS

Add Additional Approvers: Managers are now able to add additional approvers into the workflow for disciplinary actions, as necessary, for further review. This will allow the Manager’s Manager or Department Head to support/review/sign-off on the disciplinary action to meet departmental process expectations.

Expectations:

  • During instances of skipping progressive discipline steps in order to advance directly to a written warning, Employee Relations must review this action, per policy. The supervisor must add Employee Relations to the business process (Steps I & II) for guidance and review of the disciplinary action.
  • During instances of HIPAA violations (all levels), the HIPAA Office will notify the supervisor and Employee Relations by email or a phone call. Per policy, the supervisor must add Employee Relations to the business process (Steps I & II) for guidance and approval of the disciplinary action.

Step I: Click the “Add Approvers” button when visible in the disciplinary process.

Note: Once the online disciplinary form is complete/submitted, this option will appear during the following step.

Step II: Select the appropriate approver from the drop-down list as shown for additional review.

Note: The designated Employee Relations Partner will be listed, once you click ‘Employee Relations’.
