| Description: |
'''Every HR person has had to do it at one time or another, but terminating employees is never easy or enjoyable – even with practice. It’s also one of the riskiest tasks you perform on a regular basis. Even when you follow all the rules, dot all the i’s, and cross all the t’s, any termination creates a lawsuit risk for your company.
Join us for an in-depth 90-minute audio conference to guide you through the tricky termination process. Our expert – an employment lawyer with extensive experience counseling clients in this area– will review 10 things you need to know and do before you let even one more person go.
You and your colleagues will learn:- The riskiest types of terminations, and what procedures must be in place to guard against lawsuits
- How to deal with a harassment complaint raised by the soon-to-be terminated employee, and other challenges
- What you are required to say, and what you should never say, to an employee being fired
- When it is required (or just appropriate) to provide severance benefits, and how to prepare an effective and enforceable severance agreement.
- The special rules that govern group layoffs and terminations of employees over age 40
- Crucial post-termination steps to take to stay out of court
- What to do when you’re asked to provide a reference for an employee you’ve fired
- How to interpret your company data and trends to figure out when you should make changes to your hiring protocol, retention programs, return to work programs, and more

| About Webcasts / Audio Conferences / Podcasts: |
Webcasts, audio conferences, and podcasts are presentations that you attend via the Internet, phone, or mobile device at a specified date and time for "live" versions, or at your convenience for "recorded" and "On-Demand" versions.
The live versions are interactive, meaning that participants can ask questions in real time, plus are a very cost-effective form a training because 1) you receive fast, convenient learning without any out-of-office time; 2) you can invite as many colleagues as you'd like to listen in on a single phone line; 3) you incur no travel expenses; and 4) you and your colleagues are back at work immediately after the session ends!
And though with recorded versions you do lose the ability to ask questions, you gain the ability to hear the presentation numerous times and to share it with others in your office.
Handout materials and the phone number for live presentations are made available to you prior to the event via email from the presenter and from the "MyAccount" link on the menu bar. Copies of the presentations are included with recorded versions. |
