Documenting Without Tears - Half-Day Employment program

The Moving Finger writes; and having writ
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
 Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.

If Omar Khayyam were writing today, he might refer to typing, clicking and deleting, but his message would be the same – we can’t undo the past.  What we document becomes a record that we can’t change. Yet we are required to document so many things that it can be overwhelming always to keep an eye on the future implications of the records we are (or aren’t) creating.

Think of driving – it’s something we do all the time, but we can train ourselves to drive defensively, thereby reducing the risk of injury from hazards we may or may not be able to see.  So it can be with documenting. 

Join us for a half-day program devoted to Defensive Documenting.  We’ll look at how employers should document along the entire course of the employment relationship, with a few important detours along the way.  Topics will include:

• Applications
• Background checks
• Job descriptions
• Job offers
• I-9s
• Training
• Performance management
• Email
• Personnel files
• Litigation holds
• Investigations
• Privileges
• OSHA
• Workers comp
• FMLA
• Accommodations
• Discipline & terminations
• Unemployment
• Record retention & access
• Subpoenas

The program will be followed by a light lunch.  Please arrive before 8:30 so we can be sure to conclude in time for lunch at noon.

There is no cost to attend this program. Please note that there is no webcast of our half-day programs. We want to see you in person!
