The overriding Goal is DOCUMENT for the continued success of your business NOT to make costly payments to Arbitrators, back pay to Employees, fees or fines to state or federal agencies, as well as Discriminatory agencies and private lawsuits.

We will discuss the” 5 W’s of Documentation.

1. WHO WE DOCUMENT
2. WHAT WE DOCUMENT,
3. WHEN WE DOCUMENT
4. WHERE WE DOCUMENT
5. WHY WE DOCUMENT.

A discussion will held covering the Impact of Documentation on Just Cause Standard and how to ensure proper treatment

There are numerous styles of Documentation (The styles of Documentation are listed in order of preference from top to bottom):

• Verbatim or “word for word”
• Narrative or “create the story”
• Outline format as an overview,
• a fact listing, absent emotions/opinions.

In this interactive webinar, we will discuss:

• The formats of Documentation
• Including the usage of key language to support the Documentation
• What form does Documentation take and Where is it filed?
• What can the Union have access to during their Grievance investigation or their Attorney in a Discovery process?
• Disciplinary process which may consist of Verbal discussion(s), written letters and Suspension(s) and Final warnings leading to termination.
• The appropriate language need to be utilized to effectively create any “verbal discussion” or discipline.

NOTE:  Solely mentioning that an employee is “going down the wrong road” doesn’t meet the intent of a documented verbal discussion. Verbal discussions need notify the Employee of his/her violation, what will happen in the immediate future should they fail to maintain satisfactory performance.

A verbal discussion absent these above factors is NOT a Verbal discussion.

We will outline the proper content of Documentation, mention of only relevant facts:

• All too often Supervisors and managers want to indicate the color of an employee’s shirt, pants or sunglasses! NOT RELEVANT! Or they want to indicate their Knowledge WHY the employee did it! Again Not relevant, exclude Emotions and opinions!

2 key areas of discussion will be :

• What does Documentation from a grievance look like? The Union is NOT entitled to any documentation before, during or after an Investigatory Interview, only leading up to or at the Grievance meeting.
• Can we ever “combine “ Discipline together? What is a Past Practice? How do I change a Past Practice?
