Employers often avoid terminations because they are hard to carry out and hard to defend. Wrongful termination cases have grown since the late 2000s, bringing litigation costs, fines, penalties and even criminal sanctions. This 90-minute webinar shows how to build a strong legal defense for termination decisions.
You'll review termination rules in different states, retaliation regulations, which agencies enforce workplace rules and which rules most often target employers. The session explains how managers can be held personally liable, how to document performance issues and how to create a consistent, fair termination process and checklist.
It also covers volatile terminations, including employees with weapons or a history of aggression.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Employees know more about their workplace rights, the EEOC has raised awareness of how to file charges, whistleblower protections have expanded and DOL websites help employees check whether employers are complying. As a result, termination decisions face more legal risk than ever.
The session suits business owners and leadership, small businesses, employers expanding internationally, managers and supervisors, and compliance and HR professionals.
