Employment Agreement, Code of Conduct, Warning Forms, and Logs

This assignment presents a comprehensive framework for managing group projects through an employment agreement and code of conduct. It outlines procedures for addressing performance issues, including verbal and written warnings, and ultimately, termination of a group member if necessary. The document includes templates for a Code of Conduct, Warning Forms (Warning #1 and Warning #2), and a Move to Terminate form. Additionally, it provides Group Meeting Attendance, Group Meeting Log, and Group Assignment Log templates to facilitate effective team organization, communication, and task management. This detailed structure aims to promote accountability, resolve conflicts, and ensure equitable contributions within a group setting. The assignment emphasizes clear expectations, documentation, and a structured approach to addressing performance concerns, ultimately fostering a productive and collaborative group environment.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
We, the members of Group ____, accept the conditions of employment at our
company. The specific conditions of employment are recorded in the CODE
OF CONDUCT which we have developed and attached.
This Code reflects the minimum level of performance that is expected of any
group member. If a group member fails to meet this minimum level, they
may be subject to repercussions as follows:
1. The first time a group member fails to meet their
responsibilities, the group will meet as a team to give a verbal
warning to the neglectful member. This warning will include three
components: the section of the Code of Conduct that the person
violated, suggestions for improving their performance, and
standards to evaluate improved performance in the future (i.e.,
making the group’s expectations explicit). This written warning
should be documented on the FORM WARNING #1. This form must
be signed by the group members and filed in the permanent
employment file with the Human Resources Director (i.e., our
professor).
2. The second infraction by a team member should result in a written
warning documented on FORM WARNING #2. This should summarize the
history of the problem and corrective actions that have been attempted.
Again, this form must be filed with the Human Resources Office (i.e. our
professor). If desired by any members of the group, the Human Resources
Director will be available for mediation among the group members.
3. If the problem persists, the group may move to terminate their group
member. To do this, they must complete the official MOVE TO TERMINATE
FORM, and schedule a final mediation session. If the result of this session
is, in fact, termination, then the delinquent group member will be
removed from the group, therefore receiving no points for future group
activities.

CODE OF CONDUCT
We, the members of Group ____, have developed the following guidelines to
manage our group activities. This Code specifies the minimum expectations
of appropriate behavior for each team member and will be used to evaluate
any potential problems.
If, in the future, we determine that the rules specified in this document
should be modified or supplemented, we may produce a revised Code of
Conduct and file it with Human Resources (i.e., our professor). At that time,
the revised version will become effective and the older version will be null.
