question 20

Essay

Beth, managing editor of the City News, has a lenient policy concerning employee tardiness. She would prefer that employees be to work by 9
a.m., but does not usually enforce this policy. One week, Don, who had spent the previous month in an alcohol-abuse rehabilitation program, was late three days in a row. Given his appearance, it was obvious that he had been drinking. Can Beth suspend him without pay for two weeks?
