HR Documentation: Do’s & Don’ts of Documenting Employee Performance

Price: $ + applicable taxes

Employee documentation begins well before an individual's first day, and it continues after he or she leaves your company.

The problem most HR professionals face is either not knowing what to document or not having a complete paper trail when you need it the most.

Not properly documenting (or not documenting at all) can hurt employers in several ways.

Documentation makes or breaks a manager’s ability to discipline, terminate, fairly promote, reward and recognize employees. Additionally, solid documentation becomes an employer’s best friend when an employee brings discrimination or other employment-related claims against the organization.
