One of the questions most commonly asked of an attorney is: "Can I fire this employee?" However, the number one way for a company to find themselves in a lawsuit is a "bad" termination. This presentation will cover, how to effectively terminate the relationship with an employee without facing liability at the end of the day.
Some of the topics we will cover include:
1. The documents you must have during a termination;
2. What you can and cannot say during the termination meeting;
3. How and when you should use a severance agreement;
4. When you should not terminate an employee;
5. What it means to be an "at will" employee;
6. How and when to use progressive discipline;
7. Arbitration agreements;
8. Using personal improvement plans (PIP);
9. Layoffs including Cal/WARN; and
10. When you should get legal counsel involved.
