§ 18935 Director Discretion For Minor Violations

This law says that small mistakes don't always need to be punished. The boss can just give a warning if they think that's enough to fix the problem.

Key Takeaways

  • •Small mistakes can get a warning instead of punishment.
  • •The boss decides if a warning is enough.
  • •The warning must be in writing.

Example

A store forgets to put a small safety sign where it should be.

Instead of getting fined or taken to court, the store might just get a warning letter to put up the sign.
