SUMMARY:Efficient Accountability: Last Rites\, Last Chances\, & Other Discipline Alternatives - October 21\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:Numerous pitfalls can derail an agency’s disciplinary action – whether that action is a suspension\, demotion\, or removal – and make a bad situation worse. Because anything can happen during a legal challenge to an adverse action\, the most “effective and efficient” approach to employee misconduct isn’t always traditional discipline. \nThis two-hour training will explain why\, how\, and when to use numerous alternative actions including last chance agreements\, last rites agreements\, paper suspensions\, reprimands in lieu of suspension\, and more. Plus we’ll discuss where the rules stand on clean record agreements. Supervisors\, attorneys\, L/ER SPecialists\, and union reps won’t want to miss this event. \nLearning objectives\n\nAppropriately draft documents for alternative discipline.\nExplain the difference between last chance agreements and last rites agreements.\nDiscuss the benefits of the reprimand in lieu of suspension.\n\nTraining time\n1:00 pm – 3:00 pm ET \nPricing\nEarly bird (register by September 21\, 2025) \n\n$360\n\nStandard (register September 22 – October 21\, 2025) \n\n$400\n\nEvent FAQs\nCan I attend this class using my government computer?\nThis event will be held on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Everything You Need to Know About Probationary Periods - October 30\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:On the surface\, probationary periods seem rather simple\, but with the addition of Executive Order 14284: Strengthening Probationary Periods in the Federal Service (April 24\, 2025)\, new regulations and OPM guidance\, and ongoing litigation\, there are novel processes your agency must follow. Plus\, probationary appeal rights have been limited even further by Civil Service Rule XI. \nUnder the new requirements the termination of a probationer is automatic unless the agency certifies\, in writing\, that finalizing the individual’s appointment advances the public interest. What does that certification look like? Must you notify employees in advance of their probationary period coming to an end? Can you discipline or PIP someone during their probationary period? Can probationers ever have MSPB appeal rights – and if so\, under what circumstances? \nThis course will answer all your questions about probationary periods\, and with all the recent changes it’s one you can’t afford to miss. \nLearning objectives\n\nIdentify the similarities and differences between probationary periods and trial periods.\nUnderstand how the supervisory probationary period is different from the initial appointment probationary period.\nDetermine when it is appropriate to separate a probationer\, and what process is required.\n\nTraining date\nOctober 30\, 2025 \nTraining time\n1:00 pm – 2:30 pm ET \nPricing\nEarly bird (register by September 30\, 2025) \n\n$325\n\nStandard (register October 1 – 30\, 2025) \n\n$350\n\nEvent FAQs \nCan I attend this class using my government computer? \nThis event will be held on Zoom.
