My step-son Ryan A. Stevens was relieved of his duties from Piqua Country Club last week. I received a phone call from a woman named Asia on April 26th at 7:46PM to state that Ryan A. Stevens was fired. The reasoning being taking an extended break from his duties. It is my understanding that an employee has access to a 30 minute break for any work performed after a 4 hour period.
According to the Piqua Country Club handbook the standard protocol is:
1st offense= verbal warning
2nd offense= written warning
3rd offense= termination
To my knowledge, Ryan A. Stevens did not receive anything other than a verbal warning, and then a few days later, we received the call that that managment has decided to fire Ryan A. Stevens. I feel that the due process was skipped and a decision was made without warrant and without following proper procedures.
Ryan has been employed with the Piqua Country Club for almost 12 months, and we have never seen any written warnings or have received any phone calls in reference to insubordinate behavior. Ryan was 15 years old when he first started working for the Country Club and often times was working more than 30 hours per week.
We do not appreciate this form of behavior from any employer. I am sure there may be some circumstances that we are unaware of, but we feel that the termination of Ryan was unjust. There have been recent rumors circulaing at the Piqua Country Club that Ryan was fired due to drug usage, however, there is and was no evidence of any such case.
Thank you for your time
