What do I include in corporate minutes when suspending an employee?
I am an administrative assistant for a small but growing IT corporation. I handle typing up the corporate minutes. When it comes to an employee being placed on paid administrative leave what details are needed in the minutes? Is having the employee name and dates of suspension enough if we have more complete details in his file with HR?

Corporate minutes are not for this type of small stuff. Corporate minutes are decisions the board of directors makes (above and beyond day to day management and employee decisions, which the managers or officers make)--Only large contracts the company will enter into, or large money transactions, or prehaps employment matters involving officers, or lawsuits. Just put it all in the HR file.
