As the CDC offers new guidance, Dudek & Bock’s mask use policy will mirror the latest CDC recommendations. The following is the mask use Disciplinary Policy currently in effect.
The Dudek & Bock COVID-19 Policy requires employees to wear masks correctly at all times, following current CDC guidelines. No group gatherings are allowed with more than 10 employees. This includes but is not limited to congregating in the locker area, time clock area, in designated smoking areas, etc. Face masks must be worn correctly, covering both nose and mouth.
Dudek & Bock reserves the right to discipline employees’ failure to follow the mask requirement in accordance with the procedures below:
First Violation – Employee will receive a verbal warning from the Supervisor with instruction to the employee for correcting unacceptable practice or behavior.
Second Violation – Employee will receive a written warning from the Supervisor with instruction to the employee for correcting unacceptable practice or behavior.
Third Violation – Employee will receive a written warning from the Supervisor and the employee will immediately be sent home. The employee will not be paid for that day and COVID bonus will be suspended for good. The warning will include instruction to the employee for correcting unacceptable practice or behavior.
Fourth Violation – Employee will receive a written warning from the Supervisor and the employee will immediately be sent home for the remainder of the day and the two following days. The employee will not be paid for three days. The warning will include instruction to the employee for correcting unacceptable practice or behavior
To protect other employees from potential exposure to COVID-19, flagrant and repeated infractions of the mask use policy may necessitate higher levels of discipline up to and including immediate termination of employment. As with standard disciplinary action, disciplinary action associated with failure to follow mask use policy will be removed from an employee’s record twelve (12) months from the date of the occurrence.
