Overview

Learn to prepare or decide adverse actions or performance-based actions. Before taking adverse and performance-based actions against employees, learn to meet rigid penalty and proof standards of cause set by third parties that review removals, suspensions, demotions and furloughs. Explore disciplinary and non-disciplinary causes; unusual cause situations, such as medical problems or off-duty conduct; penalty factors; issues of proof; and pre-action investigations.

Learning Outcomes


  • Determine whether an action requires adverse action or unacceptable performance action procedures
  • Decide when an adverse action or unacceptable performance action is justified
  • Determine if enough proof is available to take an action
  • List relevant factors in assessing penalties
