Product Description
101 SAMPLE WRITE-UPS FOR DOCUMENTING EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS A Guide to Progressive Discipline & Termination There's no escaping problem employees. But with 101 pre- written disciplinary write-ups at a manager's fingertips, there is a way to escape the headaches, anxiety, and potential legal trouble of performance review or counseling sessions. These ready-to-go documents eliminate the fretful second-guessing about what to do and how to say it. Expertly written, they cover every kind of problem -- substandard work quality, absenteeism, insubordination, sexual harassment, e-mail misuse, and more. In addition, readers will find a complete explanation of the entire disciplinary process and (as a last resort) 18 sample termination letters. The disciplinary process outlined here is not about punishing employees into submission. Rather, it focuses on easing tension, opening up bilateral communications, and providing helpful direction on turning problem performance into positive output. It's a complete toolkit for handling disciplinary problems in a fair, responsible, and legally defensible way. PAUL FALCONE (Valencia, CA) is director of employee relations and labor relations for City of Hope National Medical Center. He is the author of The Complete Job-Finding Guide for Secretaries and Administrative Support Staff (Amacom) and 96 Great Interview Questions to Ask Before You Hire (Amacom).

 This book saved my sanity August 6, 2002
34 out of 34 found this review helpful
A long-term problem employee was transferred to my department. I'd seen other two other supervisors repeatedly get intimidated by her, and the HR dept. ignore the entire situation. A friend recommended this book to me, and WOW what a help! The author gave me verbiage for the disciplinary conversations I had to have with my employee, showed me how to document her poor performance, and the attorney who eventually reviewed the file at HR's request gave me an "A". The new HR person who took over right as the employee was resigning (on the verge of being terminated), said the written warnings were the best she had ever seen. Disciplining this employee was a very difficult, emotional process, but I felt confident that I was doing the right thing for my company, and legally was protected because this book took me step by step through it all.
Great for supervisors who want excellent documentation September 6, 1999

This book is a lifesaver, especially since all the write ups are on diskette. It really gives a detailed outline of how someone is to be disciplined. From the outlines in the book it gives detailed step by step instructions on how to document employee performance issues. I'm glad I bought the book.
Every manager should have a copy!!! September 2, 1999

This book will answer all your questions when documenting performance issues. There is a sample for every situation. If you're a manager, you'd be a fool not to own this book!

I know Paul Falcone personally. I have talked with him in the past at a career workshop and afterwards. He is a consumate Human Resources executive who understands the issues regarding the documentation of employee problems and assisting employees and managers to work better together.If an HR or line Manager needs to document an employee problem, this book assists the practioner for samples and ideas of how to write up a report for the file, letters for the employee, etc. This can also be used as a guide for managers who need to document the actions of direct reports. As an HR practioner, I recommend you consult your HR department along with using this as a tool.
Excellent help for managers October 8, 2007

Running my own small business, the one area that is always an issue for me is dealing with employee performance problems. Having read some of Paul Falcone's other books and finding them really helpful, clear and understandable, I bought this.
This is an excellent book, with very straightforward and useful help on how to handle this thorny issue - the structure makes it easy to dip an and out of as neeeded, and It's becoming a trusty guide, which always has a place on my desk.
Highly, highly recomended for managers looking for help with these kinds of issues - don't run a business without it!
