Employee Discipline Issues? Learn Steps You Can Take

Effective management requires putting your employees on notice when their behavior falls below company expectations. Documentation is an important part of the performance appraisal process. Documentation can also protect the company in the event the employee is terminated and later claims the termination was wrongful. 

Join our employment law experts on Thursday, September 20 for our Employee Discipline Webinar as they explain key factors to consider before disciplining employees, including:

• Exceptions to at-will employment
• When to conduct investigations
• Proper documentation and recordkeeping
• The disciplinary process

Join Us Thursday: How to Conduct Effective Performance Evaluations Webinar

Performance evaluations can be extremely helpful tools in letting employees know if they are meeting your expectations. If done properly, a performance evaluation can give your employee deserved recognition, and in the case of an underperforming employee, a roadmap to improve and succeed. However, if not done properly or consistently, evaluations can expose you to liability.

Susan Kemp, Sr. Employment Law Counsel, and I will provide you with an in-depth, 90-minute, live webinar that covers all aspects of performance evaluations. Some of the topics will include:

• Training your managers and supervisors on performing evaluations
• Designing an evaluation process
• Indentifying and communicating areas where performance needs improvement
• Formal vs. Informal evaluations
• Following up after a performance evaluation
• Ways to evaluate the evaluator

Susan and I look forward to your questions. Sign up today.

Best regards,

Erika Frank, Vice President & General Counsel
