Terminations/Layoffs/RIF’s

Did you know that relying strictly on at-will employment as a basis for termination can create risk for your company? We recommend you call us prior to terminating any employee. We will work with you on the process, ensure you have appropriate documentation and help manage the employee meeting. If you are contemplating the need for a layoff or reduction in force (RIF) you may be subject to notice requirements under state or federal law, including the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN). We will walk you through the process from establishing legally defensible criteria to determine which employees are subject to a layoff or RIF, assist with severance agreements, and meet with employees during the termination meetings.
