Disciplinary Interviews

The right to establish work rules and regulations would be meaningless without the right to enforce them.  The employer could not effectively exercise its right and responsibility to maintain order and efficiency without the power to enforce those rules and regulations through the use of proper disciplinary procedures.  Disciplinary investigation is the first step the supervisor must take in determining whether or not an employee has violated a work rule or regulation.  It is extremely important to have all of the facts correct concerning the incident.  Documentation of those facts is the key word in labor relations.  This course will address such issues as the Purpose of Discipline; "Due Process" for the employee, contractual issues; Progressive Discipline; Disciplinary Interviews; and Disciplinary Investigation Documentation.  Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to conduct a disciplinary interview and compose a disciplinary investigation report.

Who Should Attend:    This course is a necessity for all supervisors.
