A refresher on the ADRP (alternative dispute resolution policy) because today it proved itself again! Here is what happened:
Our solution center team just took a call from a client who, 6 months ago, fired an employee with more than 15 years of service. The short story is that they spent a lot of time trying progressive corrective coaching, with no behavior change. So she was fired.

These are the 2 questions.
1. Is this thing going to pass?
2. Will I have to provide health insurance to my employees if it does?
After considerable research my crystal ball says I expect the current democratic-driven administration to push a bill to the floor for a vote.
