What form does a supervisor use to document a counseling session between a supervisor and an employee?

• A. Counseling Log
• B. Remedial Training/Counseling Form (PBSO #0075)
• C. Incident Review Sheet
• D. Employee Performance Note

Answer: (B)

When a supervisor counsels an employee, the goal is to formalize the corrective steps and capture what will be done to improve performance. The Remedial Training/Counseling Form (PBSO #0075) is designed exactly for that. It provides a place to describe the issue, specify the remedial training or counseling required, outline the expected behavior, set a deadline, and arrange follow-up. The form also includes signatures and dates, creating a formal, enforceable record that links the counseling to concrete actions and accountability.

Other forms serve different purposes: a Counseling Log is more like a running record of counseling events; an Incident Review Sheet is used for investigating specific incidents; an Employee Performance Note records general performance observations without necessarily outlining a formal remediation plan.
