Grievances

As outlined in the District of Columbia Municipal Regulations (DCMR), Chapter 8-B16

Progressive Discipline

The progressive discipline process provides a thoughtful and equitable method of addressing unsatisfactory performance or inappropriate employee behavior. The progression of steps provides an opportunity for improvement or correction before further disciplinary action is applied.  However, a single event can cause for termination in certain circumstances.
