The way you handle terminations can have far-reaching implications. A well-thought-out and executed termination makes your business run much smoother. A poorly prepared termination can cause litigation and low company morale which can end up tying up your time, energy, and money. After making the difficult decision to fire an employee, you're faced with some tough questions. When and where should you do it? Who should be involved? What should be said? What topics need covering? What laws should I consider? We can provide advice and step by step guidelines according to company policy, and in some situations provide on-site support of layoffs and terminations with the following services:

  • Preparation
    Terminations of protected-class employees
    Avoiding discrimination claims
    Dealing with potentially violent employees
    Conduct during the termination
    Reductions in labor force
    Avoiding age discrimination claims
    Resignations and severance packages
    Exit interviews
    Final paychecks
    Unemployment claims
    Compliance
    Record keeping

If you are considering outsourcing all or part of your human resource processes, contact a Cardinal Advisor at 800.342.4742. We would be happy to provide you a free consultation.
