If There Is No Documentation, Did It Happen?

Tuesday, Sept. 14, 2021 | 1:00 p.m. CT (2:00 p.m. ET)

While the statement “if there is no documentation, it didn’t happen” is not 100% true in reality, it is very true in the world of litigation- especially in employment litigation. Employers can have correct policies, rules and practices, but if they fail to properly document, they could find themselves in a tough spot if an employee sues for discrimination or under another employment statute. During this webinar, we will explore the importance of documentation with reference to employment issues and provide best practices guidance to HR professionals in the health care setting.
