California Coffee Talk: Making Tough Decisions—Employee Discipline and Terminations in California

Disciplining and discharging an employee is rarely a pleasant experience for either party. Implementing proactive and effective performance management plays an important role in supporting discipline and discharge decisions. In this month’s webinar, the speakers will cover:

• the importance of issuing discipline contemporaneously with the performance issue;
• the purpose and objective of employee discipline;
• the significance of documenting employee disciplinary issues and separations, including progressive discipline;
• the risk of lawsuits caused by lack of progressive discipline; and
• best practices for defending employee discipline and separation decisions.
