You’ve heard it all the time – DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT. But what if that documentation hurts you in court? Keep in mind that plaintiffs’ attorneys will go over your documentation with a fine-tooth comb to find ways that your documentation helps their case rather than your case. In this webinar, you will learn how to word your documentation so that it will stand up in court. We will also discuss why documentation is important to convince a jury that you made the right decision.
DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT. Labor and employment attorneys will state this over and over (and, frankly, in all capital letters). But what if that documentation hurts you in court rather than helps you? Good documentation will help you win in court. Bad documentation will ensure that you lose in court. What about no documentation at all? You should keep in mind that documentation has a dual purpose – to coach your employee and to support your case that termination was your only option when you have exhausted all other possible options.
