Check out the advice right here, things all your HR people must know ...
The termination tactic that almost GUARANTEES a lawsuit.
Making the termination experience unnecessarily unpleasant. Courts and juries consistently come down on HR officials who commit this blunder. And even if you win in court, you lose, because defending against a claim takes tons of money and time.
The thing NEVER to say in a warning letter.
Don’t let HR people breathe a word about restrictions on how well the employee will be rated at evaluation time, especially if a bonus depends on the rating. A court held that such a restriction amounts to an adverse action (Goldfaden v. Wyeth Laboratories).
When good reviews aren’t good enough.
Courts often side with fired employees who can show years of positive reviews. Great way for HR to fight back: Show the firing had a legitimate business reason (Nemec v. Wal-Mart).
Skim the table of contents. Flip to an issue that bedevils HR folks. The solution found there will be appropriate. WE GUARANTEE IT.
