Some terminations of employment are more fraught than others, whether because of the personal circumstances of the employee, or the organization's exposure due to the employee's position on the org chart or their compensation level.

In this session, we will review the legal landscape and discuss practical strategies to identify and mitigate risk. 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Understand the risks of terminating employees on disability or statutory protected leaves and when it can be done, including how to balance medical information requests, employee communication and how to identify "frustration" of contract
  • How to manage high-level (C-suite) terminations, including assessing common contractual terms and governance considerations
  • Practical tips for carrying out high risk terminations to reduce risk
