How to Handle Difficult Discipline and Termination Scenarios
John M. Bagyi, Esq., SPHR
Disciplining or terminating an employee is never easy, but when an employee discloses her disability immediately after you place her on a performance improvement plan or announces her pregnancy the day before you planned to terminate her, things get a whole lot more challenging. This presentation will tackle these and other difficult scenarios and provide you with practical advice on how to both prepare and respond to them.
