Terminating Employees: Essential Legal Do’s and Dont’s (5-16-17 Webinar Recording)
Employers must terminate employees from time to time in order to run their businesses effectively, but no other type of personnel transaction presents a higher degree of legal risk. The saying that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” applies with particular force when it comes to terminating employees. Even subtle differences in preparing for and conducting terminations can impact greatly the level of legal risk, and whether an employer faces a claim that may cost six figures (or more) in potential liabilities and litigation costs.
In this complimentary 90 minute webinar, attorneys Ray Hixson and Mary Wang review essential legal dos and don’ts for employers when terminating employees. They will address topics including:
- Assessing Legal Risks of a Termination
- Essential Steps for Performance Terminations & Layoffs
- How to Conduct a Termination Meeting
- Essential Documentation for Termination
- When to Offer Severance
- Separation & Release Agreements
- Recent Legal Developments Regarding Terminations
