Discipline & Grievance
Employee discipline and grievance can take up valuable HR and management time - even now that the 2004 regulations have been repealed. IRS is investigating the most effective ways of handling these issues and would appreciate your help. Taking part guarantees that you will receive a complimentary copy of the report and a free copy of the IRS managing long-term absence report.
