and intellectual property. Beyond these mandatory restrictions, you should treat the organisations valuable

them through your use of social media. If there are questions about what is considered confidential,

Cyberdome’s volunteer code of conduct or any Cyberdome policy. Disciplinary actions will vary depending on the

inappropriate performance.

inappropriate actions while working with Cyberdome. This policy outlines Cyberdome’s disciplinary procedures
against volunteers on their misconduct to the Organization.
iii. Scope
This policy applies to all users of Kerala Police Cyberdome resources/assets. All employees, contractors,
consultants, volunteers/commanders/Interns, any individual/partner/partner organization associating with Kerala
Police Cyberdome, temporary and other workers at Kerala Police Cyberdome, including all personnel affiliated
with third parties must adhere to this policy. All Volunteers/other associates of Cyberdome are bound by their

Cyberdome Volunteer Framework Version 1.1 [Document ID: CYBDM-HR-001]

iv. Policy Elements


The stages that may be followed when discipline is deemed necessary include the following:
1. Verbal warning
2. Corrective Actions
3. Official reprimand
4. Disciplinary meeting with appropriate supervisory authority
5. Final written warning
6. Detraction of benefits
7. Indefinite suspension or demotion
8. Termination
9. Legal action in cases of corruption, theft, embezzlement or other unlawful behaviour
The nature of the offense must be explained to the volunteer from the beginning of the procedure. The verbal
warning may take the form of a simple oral reprimand but also a full discussion if that is necessary. The volunteer
must read and sign the written reprimand and final written warning. These documents include the time limit in
which a volunteer must correct their conduct before we take further disciplinary action.

The following scenarios indicate where the disciplinary procedure starts depending on the violation:
 Misdemeanours/One-time minor offense: Disciplinary procedure starts at stage 1. It includes but is
not limited to:
1. Rude behaviour to the organisation members or partners.
2. On-the-duty minor mistakes.
3. Inappropriate use of Cyberdome proprietary materials.

Page 21 of 22
Cyberdome Internal & Proprietary
Cyberdome Volunteer Framework Version 1.1 [Document ID: CYBDM-HR-001]

4. Violation of Cyberdome Policies


 Misconduct/Frequent offender. Disciplinary procedure starts at stage 5. It includes but is not limited
to:
1. Lack of response to corrective actions.
2. Frequent Inappropriate use of Cyberdome Proprietary materials.
 Severe offensive behaviour/Felony: Disciplinary procedure starts at stage 6. It includes but is not
limited to:
1. Corruption/ Bribery.
2. Breach of Cyberdome policies/agreements.
3. Harassment/ Voluntary discrimination.
4. Workplace Violence.
5. Embezzlement/Fraud.

Cyberdome Operation Officer / Nodal Officer / Management / HR team may choose to repeat stages of our
disciplinary procedure as appropriate. This decision depends on volunteers’ reaction to our disciplinary procedure,
whether they repent their behaviour and the nature of their offense. Our disciplinary procedure begins when there
is sufficient evidence to justify it. When there is suspicion or hints of misconduct, managers or HR must investigate
the matter first. We are obliged to refrain from disciplinary actions that may constitute retaliatory behaviour. We
have the right to modify this policy or act in any other legal or reasonable way as each case demands. But, we will
always enforce discipline in a fair and lawful manner.
