However, it is more stringent and is designed to change the person 's inappropriate behavior; firing is the last resort. For example, an employee 's failure to call in when absent from work might lead to a suspension following misbehaviors within a year; termination would be extreme with this approach. The suspension is used in this approach to send a message to the individual that they are not following the policies. According to Susan Heathfield (2016), "The primary purpose of progressive discipline is to assist the employee to understand that a performance problem or opportunity for improvement exists." (Heathfield, 2016). Subsequently, Christian managers should evaluate fairly over others exemplifying righteousness in the workplace. Paul talks about leadership saying, "Elders who do their work well should be respected and paid well, especially those who work hard at both preaching and teaching." 1 Timothy 5:17
