Documenting Employee Behavior & Performance To Mitigate Legal Landmines
"If it’s not documented, it didn’t happen !!"
Failure to accurately document an employee's record is a disaster waiting to happen. The last few months have seen numerous instances where employers were forced to shell out millions of dollars in employee lawsuits because they failed to produce the required documentation before the law when needed. Accurate employee documentation will save your business a lot of money and mitigate legal risks when the time comes. Employers have now become very cautious of ensuring their documentation practices are up to date and do not lack the key elements of an accurate employee record. This session is designed to distinguish between poor performance from poor attitude, counsel employees, and many more important areas which need to be documented for each employee. We will also shed some light on how to keep a legal performance record to document both good and substandard performance. Employers need accurate documentation to improve employee performance and defend themselves against adverse legal action when possible. Effective and timely documentation provides evidence of actions, and ensures consistency in applications of policy. With regulatory auditing bodies cracking down on reimbursement violations, policy documentation, employee record errors and more mistakes in documentation, it is not the time to let your guard down.
