Failure to Comply

Mantra Surf Club has a One Warning Policy for breaching expectations, rules or not performing duties as required, except in the case of a major breach, as detailed above which results in Immediate Termination.

The One Warning Policy allows for a warning to be given to staff, whether volunteer or paid. This warning will be a verbal warning followed up with a written warning. This will explain what the warning has been given for and the expected remedy required for the staff member to comply in future. This written warning maybe through hardcopy letter, SMS text message, WhatsApp message or email and will come from Mantra Management. Failure to remedy this action or behaviour or failure to perform duties as expected after this warning will then result in termination.

Staff members will also have to acknowledge that they understand the rules and standards pertaining to immediate termination, as well as for less serious breaches, about the one warning, second time termination system.
