Overview
Terminating an employee is hard, and mistakes can lead to lawsuits. This 60-minute webinar on best practices for firing covers what business owners and HR need to know about discipline and termination.
You'll review policies and how to make consistent decisions across employees, the concept of at-will employment and the red flags to look for in discipline and termination policies. The session explains when you cannot terminate and how to reduce the risk of wrongful termination claims.
It also covers handling layoffs and furloughs, including those prompted by COVID-19, in a way that limits legal exposure, and building a termination checklist.
Why attend: Terminations are among the most difficult decisions a business makes, and business owners often repeat the same costly mistakes. This session highlights the top errors and how to avoid them so your decisions are well reasoned and defensible. It is aimed at CEOs and other C-suite executives and HR professionals who handle discipline and terminations.
