As mandated by the Vermont Department of Labor, every hospital and nursing home employer must post the Vermont Healthcare Whistleblower's Protection Act Poster.
This How To enables an employer to ensure that its internal policies and procedures regarding employee suspensions are applied consistently and in accordance with any and all legal and contractual obligations.
This letter may be used to assist in implementing a workplace discipline or suspension policy. Suspensions may be investigatory or disciplinary in nature. While this model letter concerns a disciplinary suspension without pay, an employer should notify its employees in writing of any suspension.
This How To will guide an employer through the labor, legal or contractual issues that may affect the type of workplace discipline policy that may be implemented. It will also provide information if an employer wishes to exempt certain employees from the progressive discipline process or to skip certain steps within the progression.
