Course Details:
This course provides K-12 HR Administrators with strategies to examine current HR processes to identify opportunities for reviewing contract language, conducting employee investigations, and crafting letters of reprimand through the lens of progressive discipline. The presenters will share successful strategies and instruct participants on how to create and implement similar strategies in their respective district to ensure compliance with contract language, school code, employee law, and best practices.
Participants will come prepared with a reflective review of current contract language specific to discipline, employee rights, investigations, and possible grievance procedures within their current HR paradigm and will engage in the creation of discipline procedural templates, interview question constructs, and sample letters of reprimand. Participants will become fluent in the nuances of investigation procedures, just cause provisions, due process, and progressive discipline standards supported through case law. This is an excellent session for both new and veteran Human Resources administrators.
