Defending Public Sector Employees in Disciplinary Proceedings
For many state and other public sector employees, their jobs are lifelong investments in highly valued careers. When an investigation or allegations of wrongdoing occur, it can threaten that investment, the years of effort put into building that career, and the significant benefits built up over time such as sick leave and sabbatical.
Public sector employees deserve experienced counsel who can help them avoid significant losses. The state civil service laws are complex, with special rules for those with permanent status in class and career executives. Our attorneys understand the system and how to protect our clients’ best interests at all stages.
We offer assistance to employees at all stages of the disciplinary process, including:
- Investigative meetings
- Investigations
- Pre-disciplinary meetings
- Discipline, including suspension, demotion and termination
- Grievances
- Departmental appeals
- Appeals to the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission
The Most Effective Approach
In some of these cases, the most effective approach is an aggressive defense. In others, a more subtle and collaborative approach yields better results. Our extensive experience in understanding your goals and identifying the best strategy to achieve them can make all of the difference in fighting allegations of wrongdoing.
