As a human resource matter, the goal of effective discipline is to help an employee improve their performance or conduct, thus at the County we call it Corrective Action.  Corrective Action helps employees to focus on areas for improvement.

Corrective Actions are intended to provide a means for correcting certain employee performance and conduct. 

Departments are responsible for retaining all records for three (3) years; current year plus two (2) years.

• Screening sheets
• Interview notes

You may send all your records to Recruiting for proper retention. 

Once a candidate is chosen, the department verbally extends the job offer, negotiates the salary,  and coordinates the starting date and work hours. The department notifies their HR technician of the candidate’s acceptance, the final salary offer, start date, and supervisor.

Once you’ve completed the interview process, you need to evaluate the evidence concerning the candidates. This process will differ in complexity and length based on the number of candidates interviewed. The basic idea, however, is to assess the candidates against the criteria that you have previously decided were the most important.

In order to hire the most qualified applicant, the interviewer must understand how to conduct effective interviews. It is important to develop well-worded questions, use follow-up questions to clarify and get more detail, take good notes, and control the pace of the interview.

INTERVIEWING AND THE LAW
Federal and state legislation precludes you from asking certain questions during an interview, and these regulations apply to virtually every aspect of the employment process.
