An infraction for "Other" is used when an action or behavior doesn't clearly fall under one of the major 8 categories. Really, it means whatever happened appears to cause some kind of problem, there might not actually be a rule about it, and we need to decide if there should be.

Here's an example of this:
|
|
|
|
At one point, we had a situation where an employee was parking their car on the sidewalk. That wasn't clearly against any rule, but some people were upset about it. Some people were concerned it made the business look bad. Other people were upset because it made it harder to take out trash. The person who was parking on the sidewalk wasn't aware it was causing an issue for anyone else.
|
|
|
|
In that case, a written warning as "Other" is basically saying we need to decide on a policy or rule about it, because nobody can seem to agree about the situation.
|
|
|
|
In general, written warnings for "Other" don't trigger any corrective action unless we determine some other box should have been checked and wasn't. Rather, we might ask the employee to stop doing whatever action it is until we decide what the policy should be about it. |
