(3) In each formal disciplinary action, management shall give the employee a written notification that includes, but is not limited to:

(a) the just cause or reason for the disciplinary action;

(b) the disciplinary action to be taken, including the dates, times, and duration where applicable;

(c) the improvements or corrections expected, if applicable; and

(d) the consequences of the employee's failure to make the required improvement or correction, if applicable.

(4) Management shall offer the employee the opportunity to review the notice of formal disciplinary action and to acknowledge its receipt by signing and dating the notice.
