Warnings and disciplinary actions, from violation to documented deduction

A penalty that does not rest on a published policy is the first thing to fall apart in a labour dispute. In NXORA the violation catalog is defined in advance, and every violation carries an escalation ladder: first occurrence a verbal warning, second a written warning, third a fine of a defined size, and so on. When a violation is recorded the system proposes the next level based on the employee's own history, and once approved a monetary penalty becomes a deduction — in one go or in instalments — that shows up on the payslip.

How it works

  1. 1

    Define the catalog

    A category per violation and a graded ladder of penalty levels.

  2. 2

    Record the violation

    The system proposes the next level from the employee's history within the lookback window.

  3. 3

    Notify and approve

    Issue, employee acknowledgement or dispute, then final approval.

  4. 4

    Deduct in payroll

    An approved fine becomes deduction instalments across payroll periods.

What's included

  • Violation catalog by category: attendance, conduct, safety, performance, property, confidentiality, other
  • An escalation ladder per violation: level 1, 2, 3… each with its own penalty
  • Penalty kinds: verbal warning, written warning, fine, unpaid suspension, deferred increment, deferred promotion, dismissal with or without end-of-service
  • Fine calculation methods: days of wage, percent of basic, percent of gross, or a fixed amount
  • Automatic proposal of the next level from the employee's prior record
  • A ready-made rule library to install instead of writing a policy from scratch
  • Full state flow: draft, pending acknowledgement, acknowledged, disputed, approved, cancelled
  • Notification mode recorded: signed, refused to sign, or notified while absent
  • Fines converted into deduction instalments that continue automatically until settled
  • Actual suspension duration deducted from wage when the rule enables it
  • Company-wide policy: violation lookback period and a monthly deduction cap
  • Disciplinary count feeds performance reviews as an automatic metric

Frequently asked questions

Does a fine reach payroll automatically?
Yes. Once the action is approved, deduction instalments are created and enter the payslip for their period, capped by the monthly limit in your policy.
What if the employee disputes it?
A "disputed" state records the objection before approval, and the penalty has no financial effect until it is approved or cancelled.
Does the system pick the penalty?
It proposes one from the ladder defined in the catalog and the employee's prior violations within the lookback window; you can still override it.
