DiSC Introduction –William McNeal, MS
• “Hired for skills … Fired for attitude”
• “Dissimilar personalities and competing values”
• “The boss has it out for me”
• “The team is not as productive as before”
• “I don’t know what it is about Zed, but I don’t like him”
• “I’d rather work in the other office with that group instead of my
own”
• “Is it just me…”
• …in most cases, this can be fixed with DiSC!

Conflict
The psychological and behavioral reaction to a perception that
another person is either keeping you from reaching a goal, taking
away your right to behave in a particular way, or violating the
expectancies of a relationship.

Legal Ramifications, Daniel Bellizio, Esq. Bellizio + Igel PLLC
The Offer Letter
• Employment relationships are generally presumed to be
“at-will” (Montana is the exception to this rule)
• “At-will” means an employee can be terminated for any reason,
including no reason at all
– Limited exceptions under federal law (civil rights protections,
etc)
– An offer letter can unintentionally create an employment
contract
– Stay away from any “guaranteed” or “annual” language

Employee Handbook- Daniel Bellizio, Esq. Bellizio + Igel PLLC
• A Handbook is not an employment contract and should not alter
the “at-will” status of an employee
– Be redundant
– A Handbook is a compilation of the company’s policies,
practices and benefits
– A Handbook provides standardized information to employees
– The goal is to ensure all employees are treated in a uniform
and consistent manner
13 Managing 21st Century Workforce
• Practice what you preach
– Failure to follow the policies can open an employer up to
liability
– Being detailed-oriented could backfire
– Overly detailed discipline procedures
• The terms of the Handbook must be consistent with federal, state
and local laws
14 Managing 21st Century Workforce
Employee Handbook- Daniel Bellizio, Esq. Bellizio + Igel PLLC
– Employment laws and policies set the baseline

• New York City Sick Leave Act
• Exception: Anti-Harassment Policies (the law should be the
ceiling)
15 Managing 21st Century Workforce
Employee Handbook- Daniel Bellizio, Esq. Bellizio + Igel PLLC
• Fair Labor Standards Act
• Exempt vs. Non-Exempt Employees
