The disruption to the federal workplace caused by COVID-19 has resulted in difficult employee situations that may require discipline. This session will help you anticipate problems and be ready to handle them appropriately. Ms. Haga will consider various scenarios that may arise and provide HR practitioners with the tools to deal with them successfully. Potential problems include employees refusing to use personal protective equipment, to have their temperatures taken, to leave the workplace when they have symptoms of the virus, and to return to the workplace when it is time. Discontent with workplace conditions and job duties may also result in employees engaging in disruptive behavior, failure to follow instructions, and conduct unbecoming a federal employee.
