Avoiding Wrongful Discharge

Age discrimination, racial discrimination and sex discrimination are the most common complicating factors when the decision is made to terminate an employee. This interactive computer-based checklist guides a manager through the process of terminating an employee, even one who is a member of a "protected class." It is not a how-to-fire course, but a interactive checklist—a virtual consultant—advising on considerations that will help an employer assure that its termination policies and procedures are consistent, humane, considerate and lawful.
     Although it often used as part of a training program for supervisors and branch managers, it really functions best as an online consultant to anyone involved in the decision to terminate an employee; as such, it will definitely aid organizations in avoiding wrongful discharge complaints.
