WEBINAR DESCRIPTION

No employer enjoys the prospect of having to fire someone or make a large scale reduction in the workforce.  Sometimes, however, a troubled economy leaves us no choice. 

In the current financial climate, employers who may need to downsize should be aware of the potential legal risks involved in terminations, and know how to take steps that will minimize their exposure while permitting terminated workers to maintain their dignity.  Employment attorney Joel Greenwald will review with you how your company can terminate employees and reduce the risk of successful litigation brought by those employees.

TOPICS TO BE DISCUSSED

• Can you really fire someone without a reason?

• What should be involved in the decision to terminate?

• Have you considered alternatives?

• When you’ve made a decision, how quickly should you act?

• What are the biggest termination mistakes?

• What documentation is needed to support a termination?

• What is the difference between a firing and a layoff?

• Decisions about severance and separation agreements

• Conducting and documenting the exit interview
