For managers and supervisors of union-represented employees, documentation affects grievances, arbitration and everyday operations. This 90-minute documentation training for supervisors and managers explains why it matters and how to do it well.
You'll see how poor documentation leads to lost grievances and arbitration cases under the just cause standard, how it affects an employee's right to due process, and why consistent treatment matters. Past practices also shape discipline: if a violation was once handled with a verbal discussion, a sudden suspension can backfire.
The session covers the five Ws of documentation, documentation styles and formats, filing, what the union or an attorney can access, and how to word verbal discussions and discipline.
Document to support the business, not to pay arbitrators, back pay, agency fines or lawsuit costs. A verbal discussion must tell employees what they did wrong and what happens if performance doesn't improve, and records should hold only relevant facts, not opinions or emotions.
The session suits supervisors, managers, directors and senior business leaders who manage or work with union-represented employees.
