For each scenario, determine if the situations are fair or not fair to the employee and explain the reasons: -

A. Jan was using the company network system to locate childcare facilities in her local community. Her supervisor observed this and then sought confirmation from the IT unit. Jan was given a written reprimand. Meanwhile, John used his desk telephone to do his personal banking and bill paying. John was not reprimanded.

B. Sonita spent her lunch hour at the gym; she is following a strenuous workout program as she prepares for a triathlon event in the next several weeks. Meanwhile, Anthony met his friends for lunch, sharing several beers at the local pub. Both employees felt fatigued in the afternoon, and their work performance decreased, which was noted by their supervisor. Anthony was asked to meet with his supervisor to review performance expectations and received a verbal warning. Sonita did not.
