Employee Discharge & Documentation: How NOT To Become A Defendant Training Seminar

Gain Management's Support for Your Documentation and Discharge Policies.

  • Protect your company from potential lawsuits by implementing thorough documentation and filing procedures.
  • Get management and administration buy-in for your company's discipline and termination policies.
  • Implement preventative measures - such as eliminating overdocumentation - that can minimize the potential for employee lawsuits.
  • Establish solid guidelines for suspending, investigating and terminating problem employees.
  • Properly conduct and document employment interviews to avoid possible problems.

Good employer-employee relationships are the backbone of every successful company. Most organizations, however, will have to deal with a difficult employee at one time or another. Problem employees end up costing companies more than money - low morale, wasted time and energy, and unnecessary lawsuits can all result from mishandling these situations. The solution to this problem is two-fold. First, you need failsafe policies and procedures in place for discipline and termination. Second, a company can have all the documentation bells and whistles in place, but without the buy-in of all management staff these systems are useless. Are your managers on board?

This seminar will help you safeguard your company by educating and empowering you to make certain you're handling employees in a legally compliant manner - and that your policies have the full backing of management. By returning with information on current laws and regulations, prudent documentation techniques, and best practice ideas for implementation of termination decisions, your company will be able to worry less about lawsuits and spend more time focusing on day-to-day tasks. Most importantly, this seminar will give you practical advice on how to get management and administration on board to implement effective procedures. Don't risk unnecessary trouble - protect your company by attending this hard-hitting seminar.
