Administering Disciplinary Action

This training can be adapted for both the union and the non-union settings. In either program, participants will examine how to:

• Apply the "employment-at-will" doctrine
• Analyze whether or not "just cause" exists, or is required
• Discipline employees and avoid liability
• Investigate and document employee misconduct
• Identify the rights of employees during an investigatory interview
• Modify employee behavior
• Determine if a pre-disciplinary conference is necessary
• Handle common employee offenses, such as absenteeism and tardiness, insubordination, and poor work performance
