Terminating any employee is a difficult challenge. Doing it wrong can result in discrimination charges, wage and hour complaints and wrongful discharge lawsuits. Planning and conducting termination discussions will go a long way to protect your organization from being victimized by a complaint from a terminated employee.
That’s not all. Organizations must also safeguard computer systems from being sabotaged and employees from potential violence.
This webinar will give participants all of the tools they need to ensure terminations are handled correctly to greatly reduce the potential for complaints being filed with outside agencies or lawsuits.
Course Objectives:
It is not uncommon for an employee to display anger and/or hurt after being terminated from his/her position. As a result, an employer should be mindful of the possibility of an increased risk for the employee filing a wrongful termination lawsuit, filing a charge of discrimination or retaliation, filing a wage and hour, FMLA or Workers Compensation retaliation complaint with state and federal agencies, sabotage and/or destruction of company property, the use of social media to spread disparaging and derogatory statements, and in extreme cases the use of threats and acts of violence.
While the possibility of retaliation can never be predicted or prevented, companies can attempt to minimize the negative impact it can have on business operations. This webinar will give participants a template to use to minimize such actions on the part of the terminated employee.
