TOP 5 TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL TERMINATIONS:
1. Document why the employee is being terminated. Document the reasons for
this termination including disciplinary reports and supervisor statements.
2. Follow the rules. Make sure that this termination does not violate state or
Federal labor laws. Also, it should follow all company policies and procedures
regarding terminations.
3. Double check for any discrimination or perceived discrimination. Make sure
this termination is not in violation of EEOC and Illinois Human Rights Department
guidelines regarding discrimination.
4. Be prepared to pay the employee all monies due. Refusing to pay a terminated
employee for salary owed, vacation time earned or other earned amounts is asking
for a lawsuit.
5. Determine if you need to offer this employee a severance. Be prepared to
offer a severance package for those employees who may file a lawsuit over their
termination.
We can assist you in implementing these tips and others to reduce the
potential of being sued by the terminated employee.
