It establishes principles for employee conduct, work morale, labor-management relations, investigations, warnings, separation, and appeals. It requires prompt, fair, and equitable action, coordination with the Civilian Personnel Flight, and works council participation when required.
Before initiating a corrective or disciplinary action, the immediate supervisor will thoroughly and objectively investigate alleged violations or offenses. (paragraph 3)
Investigations will, unless prohibited by circumstances of an individual case, include a discussion with concerned employees to obtain their explanations. (paragraph 3)
In case of unexcused absence from work, the immediate supervisor should take appropriate action to determine the reason for the employee's absence not later than the 3rd workday after the last day of active duty. (paragraph 3)

Supervisors will obtain coordination from the servicing CPF on all letters of warning and separation prior to delivery to the employee. (paragraph 1)
