DISCIPLINARY ACTION DOCUMENTATION

Owners and senior managers should ensure that front-line managers are familiar with the process of creating and delivering effective disciplinary documentation. Poorly written disciplinary forms or the documentation may result in employment actions that are challenged in the future.

Here are samples of steps to follow to help ensure effectively written disciplinary action documentation:

1. Take copious notes during any investigation.
2. Review investigative notes to ensure that they are comprehensive and factual.
3. Ensure that participants in the investigation are treated respectfully and as confidentially as possible.
