Constangy Clips Ep. 9 - The Penalty Playbook: 3 Pointers for Employee Discipline

March Madness is here, and just like basketball, employee discipline requires strategy and execution. Employers need to have a game plan and stick to it, or it could land them in hot legal water.

• Be consistent with your calls – Avoid discrimination and retaliation risks by treating similar situations alike.
• Final means final – Progressive discipline should have real consequences to maintain credibility.
