As an employer, I would give Shawna, a 3 day suspension with no pay rather than terminating her; keeping in mind her clean record and 4 years of experience in the company. As Shawna has already been given 2 written warnings regarding arriving late to work; a suspension would be the next appropriate step. The 3 day suspension would be suffice as it would make her conscious of her behavior. Since she is a single mother, presumably, money would be an important factor in her life, especially because she has to pay for daycare arrangements along with day-to-day expenses. Thus, giving her suspension without pay would make her realize the importance of arriving to work on time.
