Terminating Employees | How Employer's Can Protect Themselves

Terminating Employee Issues and Procedures

There was a time when you could decide on terminating employees and say, “You’re fired,” and there wasn’t much they could do about it. This ended in early 1900s with the rise of the labor movement.

Since then, lawmakers and judges have created at least 39 laws which protect employees from employers with terminating plans. Even businesses having only 3 workers have to comply with employment protection laws, both state and federal.

Whether you’re a large, medium or small business, every staff member you have has some form of protection. For example, you can’t fire a worker because she’s sick, a woman or an alcoholic. You can’t even fire her if she leads a revolt to overthrow your leadership of the department or company … the law completely protects her.

Because of today’s protections, you just can’t say, “It’s not working out.” When you do, the worker will believe you are firing her for an illegal reason.

The next thing you know, you’ll find yourself in the witness stand with 12 jurors frowning at you and the fired worker’s attorney twisting everything you say.

With these laws, you’re trapped in a box and it’s almost impossible to get rid of a worker without the potential of a costly lawsuit. But, you can get out of the box when you know how. The best source of this information is the Employee Termination Guidebook. It contains simple and effective procedures for terminating employees.
