Avoid legal pitfalls of ending employment contracts.
Employers are often faced with the need to terminate an employee, whether for performance reasons, misconduct, or as part of a reduction in force. Before implementing any employment terminations, employers should be aware of the risks of doing so and the steps they should take prior to the employment termination to limit legal exposure and comply with applicable laws. Employers who do not understand the at-will employment doctrine and its interaction with various anti-discrimination laws increase their exposure to liability for employee terminations. This presentation will provide employers with an overview of the 'dos and don'ts' of terminating employees so that they can mitigate legal risk, including how to document performance and disciplinary issues and related terminations, as well as the selection processes and logistics for implementing a reduction-in-force.
