Written by Michael Corum, an expert and leading authority on dealing with problem employees in the federal civil service, this latest and expanded edition of Disciplining Federal Employees is a comprehensive book on employee discipline, written especially for federal supervisors and HR specialists.
This text gives federal supervisors and managers prescriptive guidance on the basic principles of discipline and details of handling disciplinary situations in federal service. It begins by leading supervisors through the four sequential decisions they must make in any disciplinary action. The book then describes how to apply these decisions to the most common situations and set up preventive measures, and closes with winning tactics for firing the worst employees. The book contains hundreds of examples from appellate and court decisions and real-life examples from what federal agencies have done, both right and wrong.
