How To Fire Without Fear — And Leave People With Their Dignity

When managers and supervisors mishandle employee terminations, employees often feel theyve been mistreated and end up suing your company. Complying with the law is more complicated than just saying the right thing in the termination meeting. For example, the courts look very closely at how well you documented the stages of progressive discipline. They consider things that managers and others said to and about the employee. And they examine how consistently you applied the standards that the fired employee failed to meet. In this highstakes climate, managers need courttested guidelines to ensure your company stays within the law. This course will teach you how to manage termination so that managers gain confidence and maintain company performance. Topics covered include: Where does counseling end and disciplining begin? When is discipline inappropriate? How should "progressive discipline" programs pave the way for eventual termination? What documentation processes are critical to protect you? When is it right to suspend someone? When should probation carry no time limit?
