OVERVIEW
The termination process
continues to be a huge risk factor for employers. Many managers/supervisors may
not be trained on how to effectively discipline and/or terminate employees
risk- free and avoid legal ramifications. In addition, creating a strong documentation
and performance process is one of the keys to a strong defensible decision to
terminate, and discipline employees. Considering the enforcement arm of the
regulatory agencies and how they scrutinize employers’ decisions, there is more
opportunities to have termination decisions questioned. Moreover, with the
increase in employee allegations and complaints about discrimination and
wrongful termination of employment there is heightened risk of violations,
fines & penalties.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
The decision to terminate
should be made based on several factors to:
• Fair and unbiased
information
• Employee termination
laws
• Discussing decisions
with Leadership and HR Professionals
• Strong documentation of
discipline and performance issues
• Discussions with the
employee on the impact of their behaviors
• Consistency of the
Employee Handbook and the policies on negative behaviors and the consequences
communicated to employees
Disciplinary
documentations and performance evaluations continues to be the documents that
can be part of allegations of wrongful termination and discrimination.
Additionally, it is critical because now more than ever, the Employee Handbook
and documentation can be a risk for employers. Employers are required to prove
the grounds for termination of employee and in case of dispute and allegations,
it is imperative that they have all the documentation accurate and on point.
This training will provide all mangers and HR professionals with the tools they
need to implement a compliant employee termination procedure, to challenge
allegations of wrongful termination of employment and to have an effective risk
management strategy.
Know how to fire an
employee legally, avoiding legal complications. This training will provide the
tools necessary to be able to mitigate some of the risk factors employers have
when making litigation proof decisions.
