Description

The risks of a former employee filing a discrimination charge increase significantly after they are terminated involuntarily.

It is hard to find information on how many discrimination charges result from terminating employees (as opposed to hiring, discipline, or other reasons). Still, in my 42 years of dealing with Human Resources issues, I would say the percentage is more than 95%.

Therefore, a termination must be handled well. A number of steps should be followed when having a termination discussion with an employee. Following the steps in this webinar will significantly minimize your risks of being charged with discrimination when you have to terminate an employee.
