Once you decide to terminate an employee, a series of business issues with legal consequences follows. This 90-minute training on legally terminating employees shows how to handle a termination without creating liability.
The right approach can depend on whether the employee is at-will, a government employee or under contract. You'll review your termination policy, federal and state wrongful termination laws, when firing is illegal, and the difference between layoffs and discharge for cause.
The session then covers documenting performance issues, conducting a legal review, informing the employee, the final paycheck, severance pay and waivers of legal rights, and unemployment claims.
Terminating an employee is one of the hardest parts of managing a business, but sometimes it is necessary. Doing it professionally and ethically, with the right procedures, softens the impact on the employee and helps protect the business from litigation.
It suits business owners and operators, HR and personnel managers, department managers and anyone responsible for terminating employees.
