FREE Online Webinar: Writing Effective Disciplinary Actions
Jun 30 @ 10:00 am – 11:30 am

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.
