What is the minimum penalty for a Class E Violation?

• A. 1 working day
• B. None
• C. Divisional Counseling
• D. 5 working days

Answer: (B)

Class E is the least severe category. The minimum penalty is the least disciplinary action that must be imposed if a violation falls into this category, and for Class E that baseline is no penalty at all. In other words, simply being labeled as Class E does not require any formal punishment. Supervisors may still choose coaching or counseling as a discretionary step, but those are not mandated by the minimum for Class E. Penalties like days off or more formal actions correspond to higher- severity classes, not Class E.
