The absence of solid documentation is the single most common mistake employers make when handling employee performance, behavior and discipline issues.

Not properly documenting, or not documenting at all, can hurt employers and employees in several ways.

Additionally, solid documentation will become an employer’s best friend when an employee brings discrimination or other employment-related claims against the organization.
