You need to fire someone. Are you at risk for a wrongful termination lawsuit? Don't guess — know for sure!
No matter how much you think you've prepared for firing an employee or how right you are in your decision, legal land mines can pop up when you least expect them.
How to Legally Terminate Employees gives you the straightforward facts you need to handle this difficult task with confidence. You'll learn how to build your case for terminating an employee, including what documentation you'll need. You'll learn the best strategies for conducting the termination discussion. And you'll learn how to protect yourself — and your company — if you're ever called into court for a wrongful termination suit.
Sometimes, the ONLY right answer is to let people go!
You may be on the fence about whether certain employees need to go. Chances are, if you're thinking they should go, then it's probably time to let them go. Some performance just can't be turned around.
But, you're human ... and it's hard to break the news to someone that he or she is losing the job. Even worse, it's a litigious world, and how you handle the termination is critically important.
Make sure every employee termination is 100 percent legally sound
Even managers with the best-laid plans are in danger of making mistakes. And, no matter how unintentional, a mistake can still get you and your company sued. What's more, the cost of a lawsuit can be even pricier than the price of a guilty verdict.
It's a frightening time out there — even veteran managers and supervisors can get tripped up. Why take a chance? End the fear and frustration that come with terminating employees.
