Documentation

In 2. Documentation
Tagged Documentation, Employee Relations Handbook

Documentation is used for:

  • Positive Feedback and Acknowledgement
  • Career Development
  • Showing Patterns
  • Probationary Determinations
  • Performance Evaluations
  • Disciplinary Actions

Documentation should:

  • Be a clear record of one-on-one discussions with employees regarding their performance/conduct.
  • Be factual and objective.
  • Be timely (close to the date of the event being documented.)
  • Be dated and signed/initialed by the supervisor/manager.
  • Be kept in the supervisory drop file set up for each employee, and consulted in the areas listed above.

Documentation should not:

  • Be personal or subjective judgments or opinions. Supervisory files are discoverable and can be subpoenaed.
  • Be too informal or anecdotal (it may be used by others in conduct or performance cases.)
  • Be too old (documentation should normally not be more than one year old.)
  • Be used unless it has been shared with the employee.
