So first, here's a reminder of what advocacy is (as well as what it's not). 1  Advocacy is active promotion of a cause or principle. 2  Advocacy involves actions that lead to a selected goal. 3  Advocacy is one of many possible strategies, or ways to approach a problem.
Written Reprimand. A written reprimand typically is a serious disciplinary action the employee's supervisor delivers during a private conference, although a reprimand for egregious actions may be given during a disciplinary conference with a manager present as a witness.
FORM OF DISCIPLINARY ACTION. Disciplinary action can be a verbal or written warning, suspension without pay, demotion, or termination. The action taken will depend on the offense, the circumstances and the employee's previous record. Suspending an employee with pay is not disciplinary action.
