 Wrongful Terminations: The 7 Rules You Must Follow to Avoid Bias Claims and Stay Out of Court It’s no fun terminating employees – even when they’ve got it coming. Of course, your definition of “got it coming” and your soon-to-be-gone employee’s definition are probably very different. This difference of opinion is at the heart of countless wrongful termination lawsuits. Smart, legal terminations require not only well-crafted documentation, but a large dose of people skills as well. And even when you think you’ve got everything covered, it’s important to remember that behaving fairly and behaving legally are not always the same thing. In order to fully protect yourself and your company, you need a good terminations strategy – a plan of attack, if you will – in place before you even hire that employee. Join us on April 16 for an in-depth, fully interactive webinar that will cover the 7 can’t-miss terminations rules for staying in compliance and out of court. Our two experts – both experienced employment law attorneys – will answer your questions live via e-mail or over the phone. You’ll want to bring your supervisors along, too. You and your supervisors will learn:
Plus, you’ll receive a 16-point checklist for identifying high-risk terminations, along with steps for handling them in a way that will minimize your legal exposure.

The Easy Trainer:Hiring, Discipline & Termination PowerPoint on CD-ROM covers: Job Descriptions
 A supervisor seizes the opportunity to get rid of a troublemaker. "You've just made my day; you're fired." Termination procedures are the issue in this situation. At some point, every manager and supervisor has dealt with a troublemaker. But, did the supervisor in the video jump too quickly at the opportunity to terminate his problem employee? Legally can whatever decision viewers think the manager was in his rights to make be substantiated? Trainers can expect this Training Trigger to generate lively discusion of termination and a great deal of learning in the process. Length: 1:38 min.
Glimpsed pornography is reported and proves an immediate termination. "He changes his computer screen real quick." When an employee is reported for viewing pornography at work, his next move is retaliation. How can a manager prove or disprove he was even the guilty party? And if proven, how solid is the manager's case against the employee? This Training Trigger focuses on termination. When shown without comment, it leads to a spirited discussion of the legal risks of leaping to judgment, as well as the legal risks of taking no action when rules are broken. Length: 59 minutes
A manager finds he has fired only one of multiple employees who allegedly broke a cardinal rule. Then, additional rule violations surface. "His lawyers are going to eat us alive." This Training Trigger starts lively discussions concerning management due diligence before enforcing what seems a cut-and-dried cardinal workplace rule concerning termination. Is the employee being subjected to harassment? Also introduced is an additional complication: discovery of an additional firing offense. Does the first offense get dismissed? Does acting on the second offense risk additional charges of selective enforcement? **Please note that all purchase and rental orders should be available within a 72 hour period.

The jury renders a stunning decision in this Brunswick, Georgia courtroom. Arguments before the Honorable James E. Graham, U.S. District Court, Southern District of Georgia and the jury open this training video. Lawyers defend an Age Discrimination charge brought by a terminated Vice President. In cross examination the former Vice President admits a brief affair with his female assistant and asking her to handle offensive e-mail. But his attorney insists Age Discrimination was the reason for termination. The judge's charge to the jury and narration on the law precede the jury room deliberations. What the jury found most interesting about the defendant’s actions lead to an astonishing jury conclusion. A conclusion that provides valuable insights for managers and supervisors on the potential impact of both Age Discrimination and Sexual Harassment. Length: 20 minutes
