Module 3 SLP

EMPLOYMENT-AT-WILL AND PROGRESSIVE DISCIPLINE

For this module’s SLP, we will focus on the importance of documenting in writing the process of discipline steps taken in an employee situation. Read the following article:

Segal, J. (2014). Legal trends: Blunders in documenting discipline. HR Magazine. Retrieved from https://www.shrm.org/hr-today/news/hr-magazine/pages/1014-disciplinary-documentation.aspx

Put yourself in the role of an HR Manager advising line supervisors on how to document any disciplinary action given by the supervisor. From the 10 common disciplinary documentation mistakes set forth in the Segal (2014) article, choose 5 that you think are the most important to focus on.

Prepare a PowerPoint slide presentation (with speaker notes at the bottom of each slide). Your goal is to provide line supervisors with specific right and wrong examples of each of the 5 documentation mistakes you have chosen. Draw upon the background readings on progressive discipline to support your “right approach” to Progressive Discipline documentation and explain in your presentation how this “right approach” should guide the supervisors.
