Employee misconduct is an intentional disregard of corporate policies that govern employee behavior. It creates mistrust, damages employee morale, and affects business productivity. Minor misconduct can lead to verbal reprimands, written warnings, and suspension. On the other hand, serious misconduct can lead to employment termination and legal prosecution. In this lesson, we will look at the different types of employee misconduct.

We will also look at employee misconduct examples and cover strategies you can use to deal with it. There are two types of employee misconduct:

General misconduct refers to behavior that is inconsistent with employee obligations and duties. It involves behavior that doesn’t intend to harm other employees or the company. It includes a breach of company policies and procedures or generally improper and unacceptable behavior. Examples include unauthorized absences, lateness, and the use of inappropriate language.

Gross misconduct refers to flagrant and deliberate behavior that deviates from the standards of acceptable behavior. It involves behavior that intends to harm other employees or the company. Examples include fraud, theft, harassment, offensive behavior, damage to property, and breach of health and safety rules. Employers enact specific policies that define gross misconduct and its consequences.
