Despite some expectations to the contrary, the EEOC has been more active than ever as discrimination charges, particularly sexual harassment charges, are on the rise. Even as the Department of Labor has sought to relax some regulation, it is still aggressively pursuing double back pay in most wage and hour settlements. Further, immigration officials have sharply increased company audits. Finally, in response to what some state and local governments view as a more “business-friendly” administration, these state and local governments are often tightening restrictions on wage and hour and paid leave compliance for workers. This webinar outlines the latest documentation strategies to help minimize your legal exposure while implementing best practices for properly documenting employment issues so that they don’t escalate to litigation. The presentation will cover topics such as:
- When to use written versus oral reprimands
- Different types of ways to document employee issues based on level of severity
- How to document internal investigations
- How to protect the attorney-client privilege in internal human resources documentation
- How to strategically use handbooks and other personnel policies
- Tips for verbal counseling and how that counseling should be documented

appreciated the real world examples. I missed a bit but will go back and see that part of the recording.
I also enjoyed having the “back and forth” between the two presenters.

The content was very good and served as a good reminder (without being too basic) on the basics that sometimes get lost in the day to day.

It was very helpful information in regard to Employees out on FMLA then returning to work then seeking an unlimited amount of time out again after the return for the same reason.

Wasn’t always on the slide that was being discussed. Then passed over quickly without a chance to look at it. Rushed a little bit towards the end.

Although a lot of this was review for me, it was well organized and full of information for someone new to documentation.
