Employee Counseling & Discipline

Often times, issues arising between employers and their employees can be minimized or prevented by the appropriate counseling and progressive discipline measures. Deciding whether to discipline your employee and to what degree is very significant in the employment law context. Many times employers do not document their employees' misbehavior or absenteeism, which can be fatal down the line in court. It is very important for employers to properly document the disciplinary actions taken and to maintain a personnel file with this documentation so that the employee is put on notice that his or her conduct was unacceptable. Without this documentation, a judge, jury or arbitrator might find that the employee was ultimately terminated for discriminatory or retaliatory reasons. It is also very important for employers to consistently enforce their policies and disciplinary procedures with respect to all employees.
