and Script for Employee Conversation (2 pages)
Students should
·
write a comprehensive response to support the
termination of the employee noted in the case below.
·
This response should be done in a memo form and
will be submitted to the employee file.
This document should:
·
summarize the incident/s
·
conversations in supervision
·
corrective action plan
·
investigations
·
and discussion with HR Department and Legal
Counsel.
Since this is a fictitious case, students have the liberty
to create specifics that highlight their process and decision to terminate.
Students also describe the use of an intersectional lens to explain how
their and Lorraine’s social locations were perceived and influenced their
process. This Plan should be 2 pages.
Case Vignette
After 90 days since the initiation of the Corrective Action
Plan, Lorraine has failed to meet the stated goals. The agency has agreed that
you have sufficient evidence to terminate but this process must be fully
documented and included in the employee file.
You have notified the Union that you will be meeting with
the employee to review their Corrective Action Plan. They are suspecting that
the employee will be terminated at this meeting.
When you notified Lorraine about the meeting, she claimed
that the agency is treating her unfairly because she is a Person of Color in
her mid-50’s and they “just want to get rid of her”. Lorraine is bringing her
union representative to the meeting who is also a Person of Color.
The Union representative has informed you that they will be
filing a grievance for wrongful termination and possible race discrimination.
Historically the union has grieved any termination which leads you to believe
they will also grieve this termination.
Script for meeting with the employee
Students should also script out the conversation with the
employee. This script should highlight the steps you have taken and your
decision to terminate. This script should be no more than 2 pages.
This scripted response should be the supervisor having the
actual conversation with the employee (who is behind the camera) and should be
no more than 5 minutes.
