Once you decide to terminate an employee, a series of business issues with legal consequences follows. This 75-minute webinar on legally terminating an employee shows how to recognize those issues and handle them well, and how the approach can change depending on the employee's legal status.
The session focuses mainly on California rules, and also covers the basic federal and state employment laws on termination. It was originally created for terminations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
You'll review employee types, termination policies, risk analysis, layoffs vs discharge for cause vs furloughs, when firing is illegal, documenting performance issues, conducting a legal review, informing the employee, the final paycheck, and severance and unemployment claims.
Terminating employees is unpleasant but sometimes necessary, and it should be done professionally and ethically. You need to understand the difference between a layoff, a furlough and a full termination, because the decision triggers duties the employer must handle responsibly to protect the business legally.
The session suits business owners and operators, HR and personnel managers, department and unit managers, and anyone responsible for terminating employees.
