Content: If a policy is created for a division, that policy needs to apply to everyone in that group. When a policy is developed for the entire company, all employees must be held to the same standard. If the policy is altered for different people, procedural justice is not implemented appropriately. Likewise, when policies are created, procedural justice needs to be considered. The policy must be fair to everyone in the organization, regardless of race, gender, age, position, education, or training. Procedural Justice Examples
To further examine procedural justice, let's take a look at a couple of examples. If a company has a strict tardiness policy, with specific punishments if employees are repeatedly late, that policy must apply to every person at every level. If some people are exempt from the rule, procedural justice is not being enacted. Likewise, if every person - executives and managers included - are equally affected by the policies of the company, there is procedural justice. However if the opposite is true, and the company has vague guidelines for appropriate charges that employees can be reimbursed for, it is not an act of procedural justice to deny reimbursement to one employee, while at the same time paying another.
