If a disgruntled employee challenges the legality of their termination, an employer must have written documentation showing the employee was terminated for a legitimate reason. Without such written documentation, employers are extremely vulnerable to employee lawsuits. By completing one of our Employee Counseling Forms each time an employee engages in inappropriate behavior, supervisors will not only provide the employee with notice of their inappropriate behavior and/or performance; they will also develop the documentation necessary to defend against unwarranted employee lawsuits.
