Steps to Take When You Suspect an Employee of Misconduct
In most situations, there is a protocol to follow before terminating an employee due to misconduct.
Some of the steps to take to mitigate employee misconduct in order include:

Verbal Warning
Most companies will issue a verbal warning the employee’s conduct or performance is not meeting the standards of the employer.

Documented Written Warning
If an employee continues to engage in misconduct after a verbal warning, a documented warning with an employee signature would be the next step.

Suspension and Reprimanding
An employer will suspend and reprimand a misbehaving employee who either engages in egregious misconduct or has been warned multiple times about their misconduct previously.

Termination
Although an employer can terminate their employees at any time for any kind of misconduct, termination is usually reserved for when none of the above have worked.
