Wisconsin Suspension and Dismissal Instructions are legal documents that provide guidance to employers and employees in the state of Wisconsin on disciplinary actions that may be taken in the workplace. These instructions outline the process for suspending or dismissing an employee due to a violation of an employer's policy or regulations. There are two types of Wisconsin Suspension and Dismissal Instructions: those that apply to public employers and those that apply to private employers. Public employers must adhere to the Wisconsin Employment Peace Act and the Wisconsin Administrative Code. Private employers must follow the procedures outlined in the Wisconsin Statutes and the Fair Employment Practices Act. Both types of Suspension and Dismissal Instructions provide information on the types of disciplinary action that may be taken, the documentation required, the process for appealing a suspension or dismissal, and the right for an employee to be represented by legal counsel.
