Learning Objective

  • To know how to document poor performance and conduct disciplinary discussions.
  • To analyze how to terminate an employee in a way to minimize risks the employee goes to a governmental agency to get back at the employer.
  • To identify the steps to follow while having a termination discussion with an employee.
  • To discuss the things that need to be avoided while terminating an employee.

Course Overview

Terminating any employee is a difficult challenge and 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. In today’s era, organizations must also safeguard computer systems from being sabotaged and employees from potential violence. Therefore, termination must be handled well.

In this online CPE PDC/RCH webinar, attendees will learn 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.

Key topics covered in this CPE course:

  • The importance of work standards and the concept of fairness
  • Ensuring that the termination is not a "surprise"
  • Discussion on “Employment at Will”
  • Events Leading to Termination
  • Steps to take when considering terminating an employee
  • Planning for the termination discussion
  • Holding the termination discussion
  • Communications with co-workers post-termination
