Nemployee gets injured at work when he is stung by a bee, and follows the correct procedures for reporting a work injury to his employer. soon after, his employer puts the employee on probation for violating a work rule requiring employees to "maintain situational awareness." what type of program is being misused by the employer in this scenario as a form of retaliation against the employee for reporting a workplace injury?

This is the "disciplinary procedure" for reporting workplace injuries. With this concept, the employee must be able to report the injury in a timely manner and cannot be retaliated against by management for doing so. The procedure is only considered reasonable if it would not deter them from accurately reporting the injury or illness. In this case, the manager, through the use of the probation, has discouraged the worker(s) from reporting future injuries or illnesses.
