Firing without Fear: Top Strategies to Protect Employers
Presented by Dick Wessels, Nancy Joerg, Joe Laverty, and Tony Caruso
Join highly experienced Wessels Sherman employment lawyers Dick Wessels, Nancy Joerg, Joe Laverty and Tony Caruso for a special in-person breakfast seminar. Many exciting raffle prizes too!
Employers, accountants and members of company management will gain valuable information and strategies on how to fire employees and dramatically minimize the risk (and expense) of a lawsuit.
Some of the areas the speakers will cover include:
- Employment at will. How you fire, what specific words you say when you fire, how much latitude employers have, the strategy of saying the decision is final. What should (and should not) occur in the termination meeting.
- How to strategically terminate if the employee is high risk in any way due to age, sickness, workers’ comp pregnancy, out of FMLA, whistleblower, race, disability, etc.
- Use of documentation and discipline – what and what not to write and do!
- When is the use of release and settlement agreements appropriate? What should you do (and not do) in a release. Tricky situations such as group terminations and employees over the age of 40. Can you ensure that the employee won’t file for unemployment? How do you fire and also win at misconduct hearings.
