Oklahoma Significant Factor For Discharge is an employee termination procedure that is based on the Oklahoma Statutes Title 40. The procedure consists of a two-step process. First, the employer must provide the employee with written notice of the significant factor that is the basis for the discharge. The written notice must include the specific details of the significant factor and the employee’s right to grieve the discharge. The second step is for the employee to file a grievance if they believe the discharge was unfair or unfounded. The Oklahoma Statutes Title 40 provides four types of Oklahoma Significant Factor For Discharge: 1) misconduct, 2) executive decision, 3) unsatisfactory job performance and 4) layoff or reduction in force. If an employee is discharged due to misconduct, the employer must provide written notice to the employee that includes the details of the misconduct and the employee's right to grieve. If an employee is discharged due to an executive decision, the employer must provide written notice to the employee that includes the details of the executive decision and the employee's right to grieve. If an employee is discharged due to unsatisfactory job performance, the employer must provide written notice to the employee that includes the details of the unsatisfactory job performance and the employee's right to grieve. If an employee is discharged due to a layoff or reduction in force, the employer must provide written notice to the employee that includes the details of the layoff or reduction in force and the employee's right to grieve.
