ABSTRACT
Rewarding and disciplining employees are tightly interconnected. Public organizations in particular tend to develop reward systems that include competitive pay and benefits and nonsalary compensation strategies to attract, retain, and motivate employees to adhere to the organization’s standards for job performance. Discipline is a process to correct poor performance or in response to a violation of organizational work rules and policies. The public sector will have to exercise greater flexibility in setting future pay and benefits for its workforce. For the orderly management of any public organization, it is essential for all members of the organization to know what is expected from them in the performance of their work duties. Organizations need to create a written process to allow employees to appeal most personnel actions and to file personnel grievances against rules, procedures, and policies that they feel are improper or in violation of the law.
