Overview:

Documentation is crucial in employment issues. Poor, improper or missing documentation creates liability. Poor documentation can be worse than none. It can result in personal liability for managers. You can spend years taking law school classes on evidence and documentation and still have glitches. However, if you avoid these ten errors, you can avoid liability and be far along on the road to proper, legally valid documentation. You can sleep at night knowing you have avoided the nightmares of these most serious issues. Your documentation will be clean!

Why should you attend: Poor documentation can be worse than none at all. Not only does it lose cases, it can generate personal liability for managers. You get named in the case, you pay, instead of the company. The courts are increasingly unsympathetic with sloppy or negligent documentation.
