circumstances:
Position is vacated
Position is added which is an FTE increment or addition to the budget
An FTE status update occurs resulting in change of salary, benefits, status, title,
etc.
2. A PRF is available through HR Webforms. There are instructions provided on
TeamShare at Teams/Human Resources/HR Webforms Training Information or by
clicking on the link below.
Webforms Training
3. Utilize the job description and a salary survey (referred to later in this manual) to
determine the salary range, position description, and experience necessary. The
http://anyflip.com/rnnl/reud/basic 10/40
6/3/2017 HR Generalist Manual Pages 1 50 Text Version | AnyFlip
manager may be able to provide the information needed to complete the form. For Art (/explore?c=3#latest) Lifestyle (/explore?c=18#latest)
budgeted positions, salary information can also be found on the Budgeted Positions tab
on the approval spreadsheet.
Enrichment (/explore?c=11#latest) Business (/explore?c=6#latest) Books (/explore?c=5#latest)
The PRF must first be approved by appropriate management based on approval protocol
Religio(nre (f/eerx tpolo trhee? Ac=p2p4ro#vlaatle Pstr)ocesHso dmees c(/reibxepdlo lraet?ecr =in1 7th#isla mtesatn)ual)S. cience (/explore?c=25#latest)
5. O n ce t he PRF has been approved by the appropriate management it is then added to
the G eneralist’s approval spreadsheet (refer to the Approval Process described later in
this manual) to be approved by Executive Management.
6. The HR representative begins the recruiting process once the PRF is approved and the
spreadsheet is updated. The recruiting process may begin prior to the approval of the
position with approval from the VP, Human Resources. However, an offer should NOT
be extended until the Position Requisition and the offer (if above the approved range) are
fully approved.
FLSA Guidelines
The primary key to establishing a legal exemption is “what the position does” for all of the
exemption categories. Titles should not be a factor. It is important to bolster the job
description that should describe job functions in detail as it is the first step (but not the only
one) for supporting decisions / establishing the exemption.
The Administrative Exemption is probably the most obscure to establish but the only one
available for officerelated work (managers qualify under the Executive exemption when they
have at least two full time subordinate employees and are responsible for employment
actions (hire, promote, discipline, terminate, etc.)
10
Additional information, including a check list for the Administrative Exemption as well as the
other exemption categories is provided in the “HR Generalist Manual” folder on the HR
shared drive or by clicking on the link below.
S:\HR\Desk Manuals\HR Generalist Manual
Additional resources can also be viewed on the Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour
Division Website or by clicking the link below.

Preparing/Updating a Job Description
A job description should be prepared in conjunction with any new positions or changes to
existing positions. The department manager should work closely with Human Resources to
create a job description that accurately reflects the specific components of the position.
1. A job description should evaluate and include the following:
Functions and responsibilities in order of priority
Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSA)
Jobrelated characteristics
2. The job description should include the minimum number of year’s relevant and specific
information outlining the scope of the job and the responsibilities involved as they relate
to supervising people and/or processes. The position requirements should list the tasks
to be performed, as well as the minimum skills, education, and knowledge necessary to
be successful in the job. Additionally, there should be a section to describe the work
environment and any physical, licensure or special requirements of the position. If the job
description is already created, review the information to make sure that it is current.
3. Identify the qualifications that are essential to the position and the qualifications that are
desirable. Make applicable changes to ensure it complies with applicable laws.
4. Determine if applicants will have to complete any preemployment tests and
background checks, such as a physical or drug screening and sanction and criminal
http://anyflip.com/rnnl/reud/basic 11/40
6/3/2017 HR Generalist Manual Pages 1 50 Text Version | AnyFlip
record checks. If a test is administered, be sure to give it to all applicants to avoid
discrimination.

giving and receiving instructions. This includes getting along with coworkers, peers
and management without exhibiting behavior extremes. Job functions may require
personal leadership skills such as conflict resolution, negotiating, instructing,
persuading, speaking with others as well as responding appropriately to job
performance feedback from the supervisor. Additionally, the information contained in
this job description has been designated to indicate the general nature and level of
work performed by employees within this classification. It is not designed to contain or
be interpreted as a comprehensive inventory of all duties, responsibilities and
11
qualifications required of employees assigned to this position.
6. Job descriptions are provided in the “ Job Description” folder on the HR shared drive
or by clicking on the link below.
S:\HR\Job Descriptions CURRENT
Salary Surveys
Determine what salary range is budgeted for the position by asking the Financial Analyst
to look the position up in the budget. For budgeted positions, salary information can also be
found on the Budgeted Positions tab on the approval spreadsheet.
Salary surveys can be requested to determine the salary range in a particular area. Send the
location of the position and job description to the Compensation HR Director.
Utilize Lawson information to determine a median range by looking at the low and high
salary information for similarly situated employees.
Recruiting – Internal and External
The HR representative should work with the department manager to identify the best means
of finding qualified candidates for a particular job. Areas to consider include internal
postings, advertisements in local publications, trade/industry publications or web sites, state
labor department, employment agencies, job fairs and local schools. In most instances, the
HR representative should post the job as soon as possible, if not prior to external recruiting.
1 . Internal Posting
a. The HR representative should send an email blast to the local or designated email
groups depending on the position.
The email groups should be blind copied and the job description and the
transfer request form should be attached to the email.
i) The Helpdesk will need to send the email blast if the
internal posting needs to be sent to all of TeamHealth
The subject line should read: Position Opening – “Position Title”
The body of the email should include the Business Unit italicized in blue
font and the position italicized in red font along with a brief description of
the position. The qualifications of the position should be listed along with a
statement of how to apply, the deadline for transfers, submissions, and
confidentiality of wages statement. See example on the next page.
12
b. To be eligible for consideration for a posted position, employees must:
Meet the minimum hiring specifications for the position.
Be capable of performing the essential functions of the job, with or
without a reasonable accommodation.
Be an employee in good standing in terms of overall work performance,
with at least satisfactory performance evaluations in their current

position.

Religion (/explore?c=24#latest) Home (/explore?c=17#latest) Science (/explore?c=25#latest)
Notify their manager prior to formally expressing interest in any vacant
position. A transfer request must be completed with the manager’s
signature and then HR Representative before applying for an internal
position. A sample transfer request form is provided in the “HR Generalist
Manual” folder on the HR shared drive
S:\HR\Desk Manuals\HR Generalist Manual
c. TeamHealth has no obligation to promote or transfer internal candidates ahead of
qualified external applicants nor shall TeamHealth be required to post all available
job openings.
d. The HR representative should contact the employee’s current
manager and ask for references in writing.
e. Managers are asked to use a reasonableness standard when employees are
13
transferring from one position to another within TeamHealth. Generally, the
transferring employee (nonmanagerial) should be released from their current
position within two to three weeks unless extenuating circumstances exist
(relocation, special projects, etc.) and/or both management teams agree that a
longer transition period is needed. Transferring managerial employees should be
released from their current position within 30 days unless extenuating circumstance
exist (relocation, special projects, etc.) and/or both management teams agree that a
longer transition period is needed.
f. The HR representative supporting the client group or management designee where
the employee is transferring will complete the WebForm to reflect the change in the
HRIS database.
g. To transfer computer access, the new department manager will need to complete a
transfer request form and any access forms that are needed to obtain any additional
access that will be needed for the employee’s new position. These forms are located
on TeamShare under the Forms Tab on the User Access Forms page or by clicking
below.
User Access Forms
2. External Posting
a. Most external recruiting will consist of positing open positions on the
TeamHealth Website, employment websites such as CareerBuilder.com,
Monster.com, or other employment websites, and contacting placement services.
The job posting should be prepared and reviewed by the HR representative to
meet Equal Employment guidelines. The HR representative will inform the
department manager of any potential budget impact to their department from the
website fees or charges by the placement service for candidates.

reasons why they chose to decline. Discuss the feedback as
appropriate with the department manager and determine which of the
remaining finalists, if any, will be selected.

soon as possible to be made aware of the decision to move forward with another
candidate. Depending on what is appropriate for the situation and the candidate, a
phone call or an email should be sent to all candidates who are interviewed.
2. Once offer has been accepted add the offer to the approval spreadsheet.

employee file.
Employment Files
Employee File (Onbase)
Employee files are electronically scanned with Onbase The file should include the sections
listed below:
EIF/PAFs: This section should also include the Employee Data Form, offer
letters, employment agreements (if applicable), CAR edits, any Lawson changes,
address changes, name changes, etc.
PreEmployment: This section should include application, resume, background
22
and reference checks, sanction checks, preemployment drug screens, etc.
(Equal/Employment Opportunity In order to minimize claims of discrimination, it is
important to keep source documents that identify an individual's race and sex in a
separate file. Additionally, if internal or external charges are investigated, it is
recommended that these files also be maintained separately.) (Invitation to Self
Identify Disability or Veterans Status This information is required to be maintained
by federal contractors. Laws prohibit employment of operational issues. Unless
there is a need to know for accommodation purposes, these files should be
maintained separately to reduce a potential source of bias.)
Acknowledgements: This section should include Code of Conduct, Employee
Handbook, Compliance/HIPAA and misc. signed acknowledgements.
Performance Reviews: This section should also include disciplinary actions.
Miscellaneous: This section should include all other paperwork in the file as well
as updates to tax forms and direct deposits.
Confidential File: This section should include all FMLA paperwork, doctor’s notes
and excuses, Verifications of Employment and income, garnishments, court filings,
jury duty, etc. (The Americans with Disabilities Act requires employers to keep all
medical records separate. Many states have privacy laws to protect employees. All
medical records including physical examinations, medical leaves, worker's
compensation claims, and drug and alcohol testing.)
Payroll Paperwork (given to Payroll department)
Employee’s W4 and state withholding form (if applicable)
Direct Deposit form with voided check or letter head from bank stating account info.
Employee Data Form
Employment Eligibility Verification Form(I9)
US Citizenship and Immigration Service requires employers to have an original Employment
Eligibility Verification Form (I9) on file for all employees. File completed and original I9 in a
separate file.
a. A complete I9 consists of:
Section 1 completed and signed and dated by the employee
Section 2 completed by an authorized agent which may include an HR
representative, manager, notary public, accountant, attorney, hospital
personnel officer, a medical director, etc.

o The agent must record the documents in section 2 and
complete the certification with their signature, printed
name, title, business name, address and date.
b. If I9 is obtained after EIF is completed, enter information manually into Lawson.
c. It is recommended that these forms be maintained chronologically by year in
23
alphabetical binders. Keeping this information in a separate file reduces the
opportunity for auditor to pursue and investigate unrelated information.
*What should be kept in an employee’s file? A general rule of thumb: only information that
can legally be the basis for an employmentrelated decision. Employment decisions include
hiring, firing, promotion, demotion, layoff, training opportunities, and all other actions taken
regarding employees. Employment decisions may NOT be made on the basis of sex, race,
national origin, color, religion, or veteran's status, so keep all equal employment opportunity
records separate. Making decisions based on a person's disability status is illegal, so keep all
medical information separate (there are privacy issues here as well). Garnishment orders
cannot be used as a basis for employment decisions, so all paperwork having to do with
garnishment must be kept separately. I9 forms must be made available on demand to
Department of Labor inspectors, and it is best to keep them in a separate place for
convenience.
Employee Paperwork and Access
Although employers have an undeniable right and need to oversee and regulate their
business, their right to inquire and obtain information about their employees is limited by the
right to privacy. There is no federal or state requirement that an employer maintain employee
files as such. However, various federal and state laws mandate that certain records must be
kept. Therefore, when an employer is drafting or updating its policy or procedures regarding
those records to maintain in employee files and how long those records should be kept, it is
necessary to review various applicable laws. (Guidance on record retention can be found in
SHRM White paper Federal Record Retention Requirements for Employers).
The following items should be kept in a basic employee file:
Records Related to Employment, such as:
Employment application and resume
College Transcripts
Job Descriptions
Records relating to hiring, promotion, demotion, transfer, layoff, rates of
pay, other forms of compensation, and education and training records
Records relating to other employment practices.
Letters of recognition
Disciplinary notices or documents
Performance evaluations
Test documents used by an employer to make an employment decision
Exit interviews
Termination records
TYPE OF FILE AND WHO MAY HAVE ACCESS:

Medical/Confidential Supervisors with a need to know

IMPORTANT: Many states have laws that parallel the federal statutes. Also, many
states have laws regulating employee access to their employee files. It is important to
be aware of these state laws. The above records contain information that is very
confidential and/or sensitive and should be handled very carefully.
Compensation and Evaluations
TeamHealth believes that it is in the best interest of both the organization and employees to
fairly compensate our workforce for the value of the work provided. It is our intention to use a
compensation system that will determine the current market value of a position based on the
skills, knowledge and behaviors required of a fully competent staff member. The system
used will be objective and nondiscriminatory in theory, application and practice. Professional
support and consultation is available through the HR Department to evaluate the
compensation plan and provide ongoing assistance and administration of the program.
Salary surveys can be requested from the HR Compensation Specialist or Compensation
HR Director.
Performance Increase Process
Compensation adjustments and performance increases are impacted by an employee’s
performance, behavior, teamwork, and conduct as well as compliance with the department,
division and/or TeamHealth policies/procedures. A positive performance review does not
guarantee a salary increase, a promotion, or even continued employment. Compensation
decisions, the terms and conditions of employment, including job assignments, work
schedules, hours, transfers, promotions, duties and responsibilities as well as production
standards, operational and business needs are determined by and at the discretion of
TeamHealth. Under federal law, pay differentials are permitted when based on seniority,
merit, quantity or quality of production.
TeamHealth offers annual performance increases in late June/early July for
employees who are eligible. Guidance for sending performance increase
spreadsheets to managers with important information and key dates will be given
from Corporate HR.
o Key dates might be for:
Managers to return performance increase spreadsheets to
Human Resources.
Executive approval of exceptions 5% and greater.
Disabling Lawson selfservice application (so employees do not see
increase prior to manager communication).
Employees paid biweekly to receive first paycheck reflecting
performance increase
25
o A password protected spreadsheet will be sent to the HR Generalist to
be sent to respective department managers.
o There will be an approved performance increase pool budget amount
and the spreadsheets will have this amount allocated to each employee
based on proration.
o The performance increase must be allocated to employees based on their

matching the increase to the employee’s actual performance.

Performance increases for employee providers are handled by a separate
process at the division level.
MIB/NonMIB Process
The HR Financial Analyst works directly with the managers and VP of Human
Resources to process MIB and Non MIB spreadsheets.
Performance Reviews
TeamHealth conducts annual performance reviews in two categories: winter reviews and
summer reviews. Based on input from the appropriate executive for each area, employees
are selected for a winter review to better align their financial incentives with performance.
Performance reviews for the remaining employees will be conducted during the summer
reviews.
Winter Reviews are conducted during January and February
Summer Reviews are conducted during May and June
It is important that managers and employees have an opportunity to discuss the essential
functions of the job, identify and correct weaknesses, encourage and recognize strengths,
and discuss methods for improving performance. In addition to these more formal
performance reviews, we should encourage employees and department managers to discuss
job performance on an ongoing basis.
Guidance will be given from HR Knoxville for sending and requesting information from the
managers.
All supervisors and managers must ensure they are using the current review forms as
approved by the Compliance Department and senior management. Compliance guidelines
mandate that all supervisors and managers document in the annual review, any past
employee disciplinary action during the review period. Also, the status of the disciplinary
action as to whether the issues have been resolved or are still outstanding. Performance
reviews are subject to periodic audits and managers must comply by providing appropriate
documentation.
Documents and Instructions for conducting performance reviews are available in the
“Performance Reviews” section of the Leadership Portal for Non Provider (Admin)

90 Day Evaluations & Extensions
The first 90 days of employment at TeamHealth is referred to as the introductory period for
an administrative employee. This period allows employees to learn about their job
responsibilities, get acquainted with the department manager, other employees, and become
more familiar with the organization in general.

During the 90day introductory period or the extended period, as well as at any point during
employment, the employee may be terminated atwill by the organization, or the employee
may terminate his/her employment with TeamHealth during this period. The completion of
the introductory period does not guarantee continued employment and does not change the
atwill nature of the employment relationship.

Any management documentation relating to the separation
Thomas & Thorngren cannot represent TeamHealth in unemployment appeals. The state
unemployment office wants to s peak with a TeamHealth representative that has firsthand
knowledge of the employee’s separation. Since Thomas & Thorngren is acting in the
capacity of a thirdparty agency administrator, they do not have firsthand knowledge of
specific employee situations. The Human Resources Department and the Department
Manager should work together on the best way to handle unemployment appeals.
Disciplinary Action Procedure
The word “discipline” comes from the word “to teach.” The emphasis should be on
correcting the undesirable conduct rather than on punishment. Discipline should not
necessarily be a “negative” experience for either employees or managers. Managers should
approach employee discipline as a learning experience and an opportunity to allow
employees to improve their behavior.
TeamHealth’s policy is to maintain a progressive disciplinary process. The steps outlined
below are part of that process. Discipline should be progressive in nature based on the
severity of the offense. Certain offenses may warrant escalation of the progressive
discipline process. Later in this section, some behavior violations have been listed along
with a suggested level of disciplinary response. ALL discipline and termination situations
must be routed to the HR representative and in extenuating circumstances, routed to the
Legal department. Progressive discipline usually will consist of the following steps:
1. Written warning
2. Final written warning
3. Termination
TeamHealth recognizes that some performance issues must be reviewed on a casebycase
basis. When preparing written communication on employee actions, the manager needs to
be specific with the date and description of performance deficiencies, corrective action
required, timeframes and the consequences of failing to correct or continuing with the
behavior. The success of the disciplinary session is directly related to the manager’s
preparation and documentation as well as what the manager has learned about the problem
31
and its likely causes.
Guidelines for preventing disciplinary situations
Before taking disciplinary action, the manager should ask the following questions:
Has the expected performance been clearly communicated to the
employee?
Has the employee received appropriate training in the areas of concern?
Have the job requirements changed since the employee was initially trained?
Has the employee been given regular shortterm feedback about job performance
so that the employee knows what he/she is doing?
Has the employee had a counseling meeting and appropriate follow up?

3 Proposed corrective action.
What is proposed as the corrective action? Does the corrective action meet the sufficient
warning requirements of the discipline policy? Is discipline the best method? Is the
proposed discipline consistent with how other employees have been treated?
4. Past precedent.
What has been done to other employees for the same substandard performance or rule
violation? If the proposed punishment is more or less severe than what has been
imposed on other employees, is there justification and documentation to explain why?
5 Goal.
How does the manager propose to motivate the employee to improve
substandard performance or to stop violating rules? Set goals for future performance
and a followup date.
Steps in the disciplinary process:
All formal disciplinary action must be reviewed with the HR representative prior to action
being taken. Under no circumstances will employees be terminated without the knowledge of
the HR Department. Notifying HR is an effective way to manage potential liability that may
exist in a disciplinary action situation.
1. Factfinding or counseling.
32
This is the first step to correct unsatisfactory performance. Supervisors m a y w i s h t o
f o l l o w up t h e c o u n s e l i n g session with written documentation sent to the Human
Resources Department to be filed in the employee’s file. The supervisor should let the
employee know that if there is not sufficient and sustained improvement, the next step
will be a disciplinary action process.
2. Formal written warning.
Following a documented meeting between the employee and the supervisor, the
supervisor shall review and evaluate the facts surrounding the employee’s performance.
If the facts warrant, the supervisor will inform the employee that he/she is failing to meet
acceptable standards of performance and/or is not following TeamHealth rules or
regulations. More severe disciplinary measures will result if such standards are not met
or rules continue to be violated. This documentation will be reviewed with the Human
Resources Department prior to the meeting with the employee. All disciplinary action
documentation should include the following:
The nature and extent of the problem
The rule, policy or procedure violated
Suggested courses of action
Statement regarding consequences if there is no improvement
Any followup action to be taken
Area for employee comments
Date of action, level of disciplinary action (initial, written, etc.) and signatures
of the manager, the Human Resources or managerial witness and the employee
3. Final written warning with performance improvement plan.
The employee may be placed on disciplinary review for a period of time during which a
performance improvement plan should be implemented to monitor corrective action and
provide steps to successfully meet the improved performance goals. Disciplinary review
periods from 60120 days are recommended to help the employee realize the magnitude
of the disciplinary action. The disciplinary review period allows adequate time to
observe any improvement or correction on the part of the employee. Due to the serious
implications of a final written warning, using a disciplinary review period of less than 60
days is not recommended. Provided the overall disciplinary action documentation

6/3/2017 HR Generalist Manual Pages 1 50 Text Version | AnyFlip
guidelines have been met, the manager can pursue further disciplinary action up to and Art (/explore?c=3#latest) Lifestyle (/explore?c=18#latest)
including termination of employment any time during or after the disciplinary review
period.
Enrichment (/explore?c=11#latest) Business (/explore?c=6#latest) Books (/explore?c=5#latest)
4. Or, final written warning with suspension.

management feels an employee should be suspended in a final disciplinary action
situation to serve as a reprimand, the employee can be suspended for two days without
pay. The suspension time period, as well as whether it will be paid or unpaid, should be
outlined in the disciplinary action documentation. Exempt, salaried employees cannot be
suspended without pay due to the exempt nature of their jobs under the Fair Labor
Standards Act. (unless for infractions of workplace conduct rules, such as rules
prohibiting sexual harassment, workplace violence or drug or alcohol use or for violations
of state or federal laws. This provision refers to serious misconduct, not performance or
attendance issues. The suspension must be imposed pursuant to a written policy
33
applicable to all employees)
Schedule the meeting: The seriousness of the problem determines the urgency in
setting the disciplinary session. An employee who is accused of theft will certainly be given
a higher priority than an individual who has broken a minor rule. The best rule of thumb
is not to schedule a disciplinary interview until all the information is obtained to prepare an
agenda. Once the agenda is completed, schedule the session as soon as possible.
Employee right of representation: Effective August 7, 2000, nonunionized employees
have the right under federal law to have a representative of their choice present during a
discipline or termination. This representative can be the person of the employee’s choice –
an employee or nonemployee. It is NOT the responsibility of TeamHealth or management
to inform employees of this right.
Establish the right atmosphere: Find a private place where interruptions and phone calls
are unlikely. Even the seating arrangement can be important. The image of a manager
sitting behind a desk may create images of a judge presiding in a court. Two comfortable
chairs at a conference table are a better alternative. Also, the manager conducting the
session should be prepared for the conversation.
Get to the point. Do not open the disciplinary session with small talk. The employee
knows or should know that this is a serious meeting with possible serious
consequences. The best way to open the meeting is to greet the employee, ask him/her
to sit down, and explain the reason for the meeting. The manager’s opening statement
should spell out the specific problems:
Performance: “I want you to meet the production goals that we set during your
last performance appraisal.”
Behavior: “I want you to be on the job and ready to work by 8 a.m. every day.”
It is always a good idea to open the meeting with an “Istatement” rather than a
“youstatement”. Consider the differences in these two statements from the two
above:
Performance: “You did not meet the production goals we set your last
performance appraisal.”
Behavior: “You continue to be late and absent.”
“You” statements put the employee on the defensive. Instead of listening to the
message, the employee may become preoccupied, thinking of ways to come to
his/her own defense. A proper “I” statement forces some mutual reflection,
which may lead to a proposed solution.
Closedended vs. openended questions: Since the manager will be doing most of the
talking and asking most of the questions, how the questions are phrased will be a
determining factor in the success or failure of the disciplinary session.
The first and most common form is the closedend questions. It typically starts with a
phrase such as “Did you,” “Will you,” or “Can you,” and elicits a simple “yes” or “no”
http://anyflip.com/rnnl/reud/basic 29/40
6/3/2017 HR Generalist Manual Pages 1 50 Text Version | AnyFlip
response.
Manager: “Did you hit Ned Smith?”

Religio3n4 (/explore?c=24#latest) Home (/explore?c=17#latest) Science (/explore?c=25#latest)
This statement does not cast blame or judgment or ask questions necessary to get
information. Listen actively. The primary purpose of a disciplinary session is to pinpoint
problems and come up with solutions. Sometimes the answer is found in additional training
or a change in assignments; other times it is found in a suspension or termination.
Managers must listen actively to get the information needed to make a proper decision.
Active listening requires two stages. First, managers must hear and try to understand the
message. Second, managers must show employees that they understand. Managers can
show that they are listening actively by repeating what the employee said in his/her own
words. This allows the employee to gauge how well the manager understood the message.
Based on the employee’s affirmative response above; this sounds like an open and shut
case. TeamHealth has a strong policy against fighting and calls for termination for a first
offense, but even if an employee has admitted his/her guilt, there may be more to the
story. Consider the following:
Manager: “Why did you hit Ned Smith?”
Employee: “He was coming at me with a wrench, so I had to defend myself.
I have had problems working with him and filed a complaint with the operations
manager.”
Openended questions like the one used in the second example, elicit more expansive
responses and, therefore should be used during a disciplinary interview when a manager is
trying to clarify the facts. Open ended questions can take several forms. Some are not
really questions at all, but are instructions. For instance, “Tell me about that,” “Give me
the details,” or “Please explain what you mean,” are good examples of the openended
approach. Phrases like these are particularly valuable in drawing out shy or timid
employees. Another useful type of followup is to offer the employee a choice. For example:
Manager: “This is the second time you have not completed the daily
account receivables posting that is a part of your job. Why?”
Employee: “I was asked to do some other things.”
Manager: “I was out of the office yesterday, so tell me what happened.”
Employee: “The customer service department was really swamped with phone
calls and I was asked by the senior operations manager to help answer the
overflow until they were caught up.”
Getting the employee to talk The manager will do much of the talking in the disciplinary
session; but he/she should not do all of the talking. If the manager cannot get an
employee to speak, try the silent treatment. Silence is one of the best tools a manager
can use to get an employee to open up. Here are some reasons why:
Silence is intolerable for any length of time. If the manager sits in a room
silently with the employee, he/she will eventually talk, if only to break the silence.
Silence is never offensive. It does not put the employee on the defensive, looking
for ways to rebut what the manager has said.
Silence is not judgmental. If an employee tells the manager he/she hates a
person they must work with, and the manager responds with silence, there is a
good chance the employee will explain why.
Staying on track While the manager should encourage the employee to “open up,” do not
lose sight of the purpose of the disciplinary session. Employees will often try to minimize or
rationalize their behavior. Remember, the employee has a performance or behavior problem

Closing the session When closing the session, the manager will need to state specifically
to the employee any goals for future performance or behavior as well as any consequences
for not meeting these goals. The employee should leave the session knowing in detail the
areas desired for improvement and relevant suggestions on how to achieve the desired
results.
Questions and Answers regarding the Disciplinary Process
1. How should a manager handle a situation when an employee will not accept
responsibility or accountability for performance or behavior by blaming the
manager or other peers?
Allow the employee to explain his/her side of the story and ask questions to
identify the problem behind the conflict. Explain that the problem is creating
disruption or lack of productivity in the workplace. Do not jump to conclusions or take
sides unless the employee is completely wrong on the issue. Encourage the employee
to find a solution to the problem or correct the behavior. Make it clear that the
manager’s interest is finding a resolution that will remove the problem from the work
environment. Impose a solution only if the employee cannot or will not. Set up a
timetable to follow up on the discussion and impose disciplinary action if the commitment
is not kept.
2. Judy, a patient services manager, hired Cindy about one year ago.
Cindy is an average employee and has been given a final written warning for
excessive tardiness. Two weeks later, on Monday, Cindy called in and said that
she was at the emergency room and very sick but would be in as soon as
possible. After lunch, Cindy calls in and says she is still sick and will not be in
until tomorrow. On Tuesday, she reports to work on time without a doctor’s note
and does not appear to be ill. Judy suspects that Cindy was not sick and would
like to follow up on the disciplinary action. What can Judy do at this point?
Judy should consult with the Human Resources representative regarding the details
of Cindy’s previous disciplinary documentation, her employment status and her
absence. After discussing the details with Human Resources, Judy should request that
Cindy provide a doctor’s note as verification that she was at the emergency room
Monday morning. Judy should give her a deadline of a couple of days in which to
provide the documentation. Judy can schedule a followup meeting with Cindy the
same day as the deadline, Thursday morning, to discuss Cindy’s disciplinary action
status. On Thursday, Cindy arrives at the meeting and says that she is unable to
provide documentation of her absence. Judy again discusses the documentation of
events with the Human Resources representative. At that time, the decision is made
and documentation prepared to discharge Cindy based on her absence on Monday and
previous disciplinary action for tardiness.
36
3. When should the Human Resources representative get involved in the employee
discipline scenario?
Involving Human Resources as early as possible will result in feedback and
documentation that is thorough and relevant. Human Resources must be consulted on
any employee discipline session that could result in termination of employment. The
Human Resources representative acts as a support to management to enable an
efficient and productive discipline process. Discipline must be progressive in nature,
and the employee sho u ld b e a wa re of pe rf o rm an ce co n ce rn s a s so o n a s
possible. Again, the Human Resources representative can provide direction regarding
adequate and appropriate feedback with accompanying documentation.

BASIC RULES TO PREVENT WRONGFUL TERMINATION LAWSUITS
1. Keep promises that have been made
2. Treat employees fairly, follow company policies
3. Don’t fire whistleblowers
All copies of disciplinary action documentation should be forwarded to the HR department for
filing. This aids HR in assessing future disciplinary action needs as well as defending
unemployment compensation claims, employment discrimination claims or potential litigation.
Always have another member of the management team or an HR representative present to
act as a witness when performing a final written warning. All disciplinary action documents
need to be signed by the employee and manager. If the employee refuses to sign the action,
the manager or the employee should write on the form that he/she refuses to sign but has
received the warning. If the employee refuses to sign, an HR representative or member of
management should be present to witness that the employee chose not to sign the
document but received the warning. Give the employee an opportunity to respond to the
disciplinary action. The employee may document their response in writing on the form or
submit a written rebuttal.
It is difficult to determine how an employee will react to disciplinary action. Often, those
employees that display an aggressive behavior during the workday are those that will sit
quietly during a disciplinary session and vice versa. However, be prepared for an angry
employee. Managers should clearly state the reason for the discipline, be straightforward
and to the point. If the employee becomes emotionally distraught, angry or irrational, ask the
employee to calm down and give them a few minutes to regain control. Explain that
anger will not remedy the situation. If the employee is still persistent, let them know that this
behavior is unacceptable and have security, Human Resources or another member of
management escort the employee off the premises

Employee Terminations
Disciplinary terminations can be disruptive and, if not handled correctly, the impact on
employees and employers can be significant. Outlined below are basic rules that should be
carefully followed before making a final decision to involuntarily terminate an employee for
disciplinary reasons. Terminations that are handled improperly may result in legal liability for
TeamHealth. All dismissals should be discussed with the HR representative to ensure
practices are consistent throughout TeamHealth.
1. Never immediately discharge an employee regardless of how serious the
misconduct may appear. Even when an employee is caught violating a dischargeable
offense; do not terminate immediately. Appropriate discipline, including discharge, can be
imposed following a disciplinary suspension that allows time for a fair and thorough
investigation. Even in circumstances where an immediate discharge would appear to
be in order, prudent managers will direct the employee to clock out and leave the
premises (suspending the employee). The employee should be told that the matter will
be investigated, and they will be notified shortly as to how the issue will be resolved. In
the meantime, the employee is “suspended subject to discharge pending further
investigation.” This procedure gives the manager time to contact the Human Resources
Department to coordinate the investigation or determine the next steps to resolve the
problem.
2. Get all the facts and maintain an impartial approach. Secure and safeguard any
physical evidence, giving the names of any witnesses and any relative facts . Providing
the employee under investigation an opportunity to be heard is an important aspect of
any comprehensive investigation. Frequently, the employee will present an alibi or
defense that the employer had not previously considered. No matter how weak the alibi
may appear, it is important to seriously consider its credibility, examine its reliability and
evaluate its legitimacy. If the employee in question is in a protected class, determine
whether their rights have been violated in any way.
3. Keep the investigation confidential. Any information relating to the investigation
should only be discussed with those parties that have a legitimate business need to know
such information.
4. Always use the final filter approach. Judge the appropriateness of the punishment
in light of the employee’s entire work history, work record and protected status, if
applicable. Termination should occur if:
The investigation reveals that a serious violation of company rules did occur
Discharge is the customary penalty for such infractions
No other circumstances exist to justify a lesser disciplinary action
The Human Resources representative has been consulted
5. Pinpoint the basis of the discharge. Many managers fail to identify the reasons for
termination or cite reasons for a discharge that cannot be proven or substantiated.
This oversight could be serious. Identify the specific rule or policy that the misconduct in
question violates. The more specific you are, the better. For instance, if the employee is
40
terminated for absenteeism, spell out the specific provision of the absentee policy that
was violated. Please note that not all states require you to give the reason for termination
to the employee. Make sure that you only share the information that is legally required
http://anyflip.com/rnnl/reud/basic 34/40
6/3/2017 HR Generalist Manual Pages 1 50 Text Version | AnyFlip
(with the employee).
6. Prepare necessary paperwork and obey applicable regulations regarding final Art (/explore?c=3#latest) Lifestyle (/explore?c=18#latest)

that terminated employees are entitled to payment of wages earned within a specified

that adequate notice is received to have the employee’s paperwork or final paycheck
ready.
7. Whenever possible, inform the employee in person. A witness from management or
from the Human Resources Department should always be present. The decision should
be explained to the employee as objectively and unemotionally as possible. This is not a
time for personal recriminations, finger pointing, emotional outbursts or long discussions.
The decision should be announced followed by a brief explanation of the decision.
Management should avoid being drawn into a debate or confrontation, and under no
circumstances should the meeting become a faultfinding session or heated argument.
Frequently, after a decision has been communicated, the employee will want to take issue
with or challenge the decision. While the employee should be given an opportunity to
“state their case” and “blow off steam”, the employee should not be allowed to embark on
a lengthy debate. If the meeting appears to be getting out of hand, a member of
management should simply state, “We understand that you feel that way, but that is our
decision.” The purpose of the meeting is simply to convey management’s decision, not to
debate it. Communicate any necessary information about the final paycheck, benefits,
returning company keys, pagers, credit cards, cell phones, lap top computers, etc.
Conclude the meeting on a friendly note, “We wish you the best,” or a similar
conciliatory closing remark.
8. If there is risk of workplace violence, consider another method of relaying the
decision to the employee. There may be occasions when it is not advisable to meet
personally with the employee to convey the termination decision. In cases where the
employee has a history of violence or psychological problems or where threats have
been made to company officials, it may be safer to avoid a personal confrontation.
Consult with the HR Manager or legal counsel to draft a termination letter. Since this letter
will be a critical piece of evidence in any posttermination legal challenge, it should be
carefully drafted and accurately reflect the reasons for the discharge. The employee
should be informed about the final paycheck, benefits and any other pertinent
information.
9. Keep the information confidential. Normally, when an employee leaves the
department, the manager should notify the team members as soon as possible. Never
disclose confidential information unless specific employees have a legitimate business
need to know. For most team members, simply state that John Doe is no longer
employed by TeamHealth, outline an action plan to handle the responsibilities, telephone
calls or other inquires and what team member will be handling those duties. If any
other inquiries are made, the manager should say the Company is not at liberty to discuss
any of the details.

Questions and Answers regarding Employee Terminations
1. If an employee is caught redhanded taking company property or admits to a
serious violation of company policy, can the manager proceed with an immediate,
onthespot discharge?
Today’s business world has become prevalent with lawsuits and litigation. Whenever an
offense has occurred that is serious enough to terminate an employee, the situation must
be carefully investigated and documented before acting. Work with your HR Manager
and/or Legal to review the facts and supporting documentation. It is important to
determine if the Company’s actions are consistent with treatment of other employees or if
there are mitigating circumstances that affect the situation. Was the employee given a fair
and openminded opportunity to present his/her side of the story? Would an objective
outsider agree that this is a documented cause for discharge? The benefit of conducting
an investigation is that it may protect TeamHealth and the manager from a wrongful
termination lawsuit. Making a decision without the benefit of knowing the facts is in effect
deciding against one of more of the individuals involved in the complaint. Evaluate the
guidelines with your HR Manager and/or Legal and make an informed business decision.

2. A supervisor just took over a department about six months ago and has an Art (/explore?c=3#latest) Lifestyle (/explore?c=18#latest)
employee that is affecting morale. The employee does not seem to carry his/her

assignments. Other employees have noticed and are starting to complain. Due to
the production requirements, the supervisor does not have time to deal with the
disciplinary issues. Can management proceed with terminating the employee
before morale is affected any further?
While conduct infractions are sometimes difficult to quantify, they can impact department
morale. However, employment law guidelines do not support terminating an employee for
relatively minor offenses without prior corrective action. The supervisor should have a
facetoface meeting with the employee and find out the reason behind the problems.
Even if the employee admits to a lack of productivity, it is best to document the concerns in
a written warning to the employee. The documentation should describe the employee’s
actions in objective terms and spell out the supervisor’s expectations. In addition, it
should outline the consequences should the employee violate the terms of the warning.
The key to well written documentation lies in describing the employee’s actions accurately
enough so that if legal action is taken, an external party would understand why the
manager had cause to discipline.
3. Can an employee be terminated without prior warning?
TeamHealth has a progressive discipline approach to addressing employee performance
issues that has been outlined in earlier sections. In most cases, employees should
receive prompt feedback regarding infractions or performance concerns in advance of
termination. However, there are times when immediate dismissal is warranted, but there
is a process to follow to reach that determination. The employee should be asked to
leave the workplace by the immediate supervisor and another manager or the Human
Resources designee. The manager must contact the HR representative. An
investigation will be initiated, and HR will expedite the termination, if the facts indicate
42
termination is warranted. All employee terminations must be discussed and
approved by the HR Department prior to the termination occurring.
Severance Policy
Purpose of the policy: TeamHealth has adopted this TeamHealth Severance and Salary
Continuation Benefit Policy effective immediately. T he plan provides severance benefits to
eligible employees of TeamHealth and certain of its subsidiaries and Affiliates (collectively
the “Company”) that are being terminated due to a layoff or reduction in force; however, will

through the approval process.
Exit Interviews
Exit interviews can be conducted in person or an email with a link to the survey can be sent
to Voluntary and Involuntary Terminated Employees.
43
The Human Resources representative or their designee will, in most instances,
set up an exit interview to discuss benefit conversion, final pay, return of equipment,
etc. With the employee’s cooperation, we will obtain information about reasons for
leaving and what can be done to make TeamHealth a better place to work.
Email Access Request Process
Email/Computer/Voicemail Access may be needed at times when an employee has
been terminated or is on a leave or for investigative reasons.
Managers can requests access for terminated employees via the online Courion system
when disabling the terminated employee's user account. This is accomplished by going to:
TeamShare: Forms/User Access Forms/Disable Internal User Acct. or by clicking on the link

Unum will send an email notification within 2 days of the claim being filed to the
HR representative and the manager.
Benefits During the 12 week FML period, TeamHealth will maintain applicable employee
health coverage on the same terms as if the employee had continued to work. If a portion of
health insurance premiums is paid by the employee, these payments will continue whether
using accrued LTS and PTO, or taking unpaid FML. If there is not sufficient accrued LTS
and/or PTO to cover premium deductions during the FML absence, the premiums will be
deducted from future pay checks when the employee returns. If an employee fails to notify
the Benefits Department regarding benefit premium repayment, the required deductions will
be taken as necessary to maintain employee and/or dependent coverage.
Employees are required to substitute accrued paid leave (LTS, PTO), however, if paid
leave time is not available the leave may be taken without pay. Employees with accrued
paid leave are required to use a minimum of 2/3 of the combined accrued PTO and LTS
balances during a 12 week reduced or intermittent FML period. Employees are permitted to
use more PTO or LTS as it accrues. Paid leave time and leave without pay both run
concurrently and count against the FML entitlement.
46
Paid or Unpaid Leave During the 12 week FML period, TeamHealth will maintain any
applicable employee health coverage on the same terms as if the employee had continued
to work. TeamHealth may recover premiums that were paid to maintain health coverage if
the employee does not return to work following FML. Paid leave time and leave without

to use PTO on an intermittent basis before using LTS.
If an individual is returning from FML taken due to the employee’s serious health condition
but is unable to perform the essential functions of the job, TeamHealth will evaluate the
ability to provide a reasonable accommodation. The use of FML will not result in the loss of
any employment benefit that the employee may have earned or was entitled to before using
FML.
More information regarding FML and Military Leave can found in the Employee
Handbook under the respective sections.
Unum Reports
Some divisions may require weekly reports to show those employees on FML. We have
the ability to generate reports via https://services.unum.com and navigating to the Claim and
Leave InSight option.
Workers Compensation
When an employee has been hurt at work, file a worker’s compensation claim by either
calling The Hartford at 800.327.3636 or filing a claim online. An online account can be set
up with The Hartford by contacting t h e s p e c i f i e d Benefits Analyst in the Benefits
department.
Workrelated accidents, injuries and certain occupational illnesses may be
covered under state Workers Compensation laws.
Employees should report any accident or incident to their manager immediately.
The manager should report the incident to the Human Resources representative
immediately. If at all possible, report the accident prior to seeking medical
treatment.
The employee must provide the following details with regard to the event:
o Date of the incident
o Time of the incident
o Location of the incident
o Witness(es) to the incident
o Details of the incident (i.e. fall, exposure, syncope, etc)
o Whether or not the employee sought immediate medical attention
o The details of the incident can be recorded on Workers Compensation
recording work sheet. A sample of the worksheet can be found in the “HR
Generalist Manual” Folder on the HR shared drive or by clicking the link
