Publisher's Synopsis
This inclusive manual of policies, procedures, guidelines and forms regarding employee termination has been designed to help managers, human resource directors and business owners find practical information to help them develop sound policy guidelines for dismissals, discharges, lay-offs and reductions in the work force. The book also shows how to comply with the provisions of US federal laws that limit a company's "at-will" employment rights, and suggests steps for ensuring that minority, female and older ("protected employee") terminations are sound, unbiased and supportable. Additionally, the handbook describes strategies for avoiding costly former employee litigation.
