Clean Records, Last Rites, Last Chances, and Other Discipline Alternatives
Numerous pitfalls can derail an agency’s disciplinary action, whether it’s suspension, demotion, or removal – and even make a bad situation worse. The most “effective and efficient” approach isn’t always traditional disciplinary action.
This two-hour training will explain why, how, and when to use numerous alternative actions, including not just clean record agreements, but also last chance agreements, last rites agreements, paper suspensions, reprimands in lieu of suspensions, and more.
Learning objectives
- Appropriately draft documents for alternative discipline.
- Explain the difference between last chance agreements and last rites agreements.
- Discuss the benefits of the reprimand in lieu of suspension.
Training time
1:00 pm – 3:00 pm ET
