    The document discusses three incidents of employees sleeping on the job and whether the misconduct and appropriate punishment is the same or different for each case. It analyzes that the gravity of misconduct is different for each case. Incident I, where an employee slept while on night duty guarding a petrochemical complex, is considered the most severe as it endangered lives. Incident II of sleeping at the front desk is less severe but still damages reputation. Incident III of sleeping in the accounts section is judged to be the least offensive of the three cases. The document suggests punishments should be tailored based on the specific circumstances and severity of the misconduct.

    INCIDENT
    III

    Ghai who is working in the

    Form small groups and discuss

    2. Should punishment be the same or different


    in all three cases…

    3. Discuss why
    GRAVITY OF MISCONDUCT

    DIFFERENT
    INCIDENT I
     It is a greater misconduct for Rao to sleep in
    front of the petrochemical complex as he
    was endangering the life and safety of
    several people…

     It could simply be a recipe for disaster!!

     His work could in no case afford him to sleep


    as guarding a petrochemical complex is a
    sensitive job!!
    INCIDENT II
     Sleeping near the front desk is unacceptable
    as it could leave a bad impression on the
    clients coming.
     It is damaging for the reputation of the
    company if not hazardous!!

     A lesser offence than the first case!!


    INCIDENT III
     Person could still afford sleeping in the
    accounts section as

     Henormally does not have contact with the


    customers

     His
    work includes working alone and does not
    hamper the security nor ruins the company’s
    reputation

     Least offence of the 3 cases


    PUNISHMENT
    See whether the employee does it on a
    habitual basis violating the norms
    Or

    Has full intention of waking up but accidently


    dozes off

    ………zzzzzzz
    Rao should be dealt with sternly as a minor
    lapse on his part could invite a catastrophe

    He cannot afford to sleep at any cost.

    He could be EXPELLED!!!
    Could be given a warning.

    He should be asked for an


    explanation.

    He may not be expelled but


    punished in a lesser way if
    situation demands
    Discern his work and
    work load

    Can simply be left with


    a warning
    ‘To err is human …to
    forgive divine’
