Learn practical framework every employer should ask before taking disciplinary or termination action.
Many employers--especially those in supervisory or HR roles--struggle to determine whether they have sufficient legal and procedural justification to discipline or terminate employees. Unclear policies, inconsistent application of rules, lack of documentation, and inadequate investigations can lead to costly wrongful termination claims, damage to morale, and reputational harm. Managers often act without a clear, structured approach to determining just cause, putting their organizations at legal risk. This presentation introduces a practical framework based on seven critical questions every employer should ask before taking disciplinary or termination action. Participants will learn how to evaluate employee conduct, ensure fair investigations, and determine if disciplinary action is justified and consistent with company policy and the law. Real-world case examples and best practices will guide participants through each step of the process, helping them to avoid common errors and ensure defensible decision-making. This presentation is essential for supervisors, HR professionals, and business owners who want to reduce legal exposure and foster a fair, compliant workplace.
