Firing Employees Without Coming Under Fire: Reducing Risk in Terminations

Business owners need to maintain efficient and effective staff, who drive a company’s bottom line. With the pervasive labor shortages confronting nearly all industries, your company may end up with a new recruit that does not fit, or you may find that a longer-term employee is no longer working out. How can you terminate the employment relationship without getting your company into hot water? This presentation will discuss key risks that employers can face and some best practices for exposure mitigation, including Colorado Wage Claim Act compliance and personnel records keeping to mitigate discrimination claims.  We will discuss recommendations for enacting consistent and professional procedures so that every “You’re fired” does not induce reality TV-worthy drama for your company.
