Fourth Thursday Advanced Webinar Series: Planning a Reduction in Force

Event

3.28.24
2:00 PM — 2:30 PM CST

$35 per person

In spite of record-low unemployment, major companies' reductions in force affecting thousands of workers have been in the headlines for months. But big layoffs by major companies usually include significant severance benefits and releases obtained in return can greatly reduce the risks of post-layoff lawsuits. Most companies finding themselves needing to eliminate positions are doing so because of financial issues that may inhibit their ability to pay severance and obtain releases. Whether a reduction affects one employee, a dozen employees, or a hundred employees, companies must understand that these decisions can generate as many or more claims than discharging employees for performance or misconduct. This session will explore the steps of planning a layoff to help companies keep the right employees and reduce the risk of lawsuits from those being let go.

The firm will submit this program for HRCI and SHRM credit.
