ON-LINE: Writing Effective Disciplinary Actions
INSTRUCTOR: Mark Allen, NMC General Counsel
Date: Tuesday, June 30, 2026
Time: 10am to 11:30am
Participant certificates will be provided.
Target Audience: Any county supervisor, manager, and HR employees tasked with advising on discipline.
Description: Discipline is often overturned not because the misconduct didn’t occur, but because it was not properly evaluated, documented, or written. This training will focus on the critical decisions that must be made before discipline is imposed and the writing skills necessary to ensure those decisions withstand scrutiny.
Participants will learn how to:
Determine whether discipline is warranted and supported by evidence
Select the appropriate level of discipline based on severity, intent, and prior disciplinary history (progressive discipline)
Avoid disparate treatment claims
Marshal the facts with clarity, precision, and objectivity
Draft disciplinary actions that are clear, complete, persuasive, and with an understanding the final audience may be an arbitrator, a judge, or a jury.
