So you have an employee who has been trouble for quite some time. What can you do? What are the legal issues associated with employee discipline and termination? “Fair Discipline”, written by Attorney Robert Gregg, outlines several legal issues. Here are just a few:
1. Just Cause: a standard for determining whether a situation requires discipline and for determining whether the discipline imposed was appropriate for the situation. For there to be just cause, disciplinary decisions must demonstrate fairness, honesty, good faith, and valid business reasons, without arbitrary, capricious or discriminatory actions.
You can fire employees without discipline and still meet the Just Cause standard. Some examples are, if a company must lay-off employees for lack of business, company reorganizations or consolidations which eliminate jobs, and cost cutting measures.
2.Reasonably achievable: We shouldn’t discipline people who cannot reach unreasonable, unattainable high goals. Discipline should be applied to situations where an employee fails to reach “reasonably achievable standards”.
3. Reasonably related to operational needs: An organization’s rule or directive should be related to the orderly, efficient, and safe operation of the company’s business. It should also be enforced appropriately to the circumstances.
4. Within The Employee’s Control: Just Cause discipline cannot be served to employees who have no ability to do things differently, because they lack of control. For example, you cannot discipline salespeople for not making sales when the economy is depressed, and people aren’t buying. On the other hand, salespeople do have control over whether sales forms are filled out correctly and thoroughly.
5. Fair Warning: The employee must be informed, in advance, of performance expectations and codes of conduct. They must also have a reasonable time to achieve them. For example, if the employer has “cooperative attitude” as a performance expectation, then that term has to be clearly defined so the employee knows what it is. Or, if the employer has a rule against “excessive absences,” then the term “excessive” has to be clearly defined.

How is COVID effecting our wellness, mental health,and recovery success?
Good morning, Facebook friends! From The COVID crisis and lockdowns to the issues surrounding the election, we are all experiencing increased stress on a daily basis It’s beyond anything we’ve experienced before. Sometimes this unprecedented level of stress surpasses our ability to cope. Additionally, we are seeing a constant stream of traumatic events through the news. While these events have a positive side, such as much needed improvements, they have caused us to experience anxiety, depression, and loneliness like never before.
As we all struggle to cope with these unprecedented events, many in our communities are not receiving the care and education they need to continue living their lives productively and successfully. These traumas and stressors have impacted not only our group conscience as a nation, but also negatively affect our individual mental health and cause many of us to turn to self-destructive habits and addictive behaviors.
We are reaching out because these issues have magnified the obstacles to success among leaders struggling with an addiction. Due to social distancing efforts, skyrocketing ongoing rapid change, and increased need to communicate and engage teleworkers, many executives and other leaders in our communities are not receiving the Addiction Coaching that they desperately need.
In response, we would like to offer our services, beginning with a free confidential assessment, to you or anyone in your life that may be struggling to deal with the current issues we are facing and/or their long standing issues with your leadership role and achieving recovery from addiction. Our goal is to assist you with Executive Recovery Coaching. Overcome your leadership struggles in a positive and lasting way in the privacy of your home via phone or video chat sessions. No travel required. Privacy and confidentiality is secured, and you use your valuable time wisely without interrupting your demanding schedule!
To schedule an assessment, call 24/7 (920) 246-8204

There has been a significant increase in mental health and substance use issues since the start of the COVID pandemic. CARES Act funding will assist, but this alone will not solve the problems. There are many health issues caused by social isolation and lockdowns. The government needs to consider all aspects of health, not solely virus containment as we move forward. Research is clear on the effect of shutdown and social isolation on our nation's mental health, such as increased deaths by suicide and drug overdoses. The negative health effects are potentially long-lasting and very consequential for individuals and their families. The best fight we have against these issues is the safe reopening and return to some type of normalcy for Americans. With appropriate safety measures in place, the reopening of states and communities will facilitate the improvement in mental health across our nation. We cannot continue to ignore the health consequences for all other conditions in favor of singularly focusing on virus containment.
