Aired: 19 February 2025
Duration: 1 hour

Employee separations involve complex processes for HR to navigate. Whether voluntary or involuntary, an employee’s departure from an organization presents many challenges, from compliance to maintaining a productive work environment. A poorly conducted separation process risks legal claims, lower employee morale and operational disruption.

In this 60-minute webinar Marc Scheiner, special counsel, and Caroline Austin, partner, of Duane Morris LLP will explore the critical aspects of handling employee separations. They’ll discuss how to navigate the complex legal landscape to prevent potential legal issues such as wrongful termination lawsuits and discrimination claims. They will also share how properly handling separations helps maintain your organization’s reputation to attract future talent and maintain workplace morale and productivity.

In this webinar, you will learn about:

  • Documenting separations to protect the organization if disputes arise.
  • Ensuring timely and accurate payment of final wages.
  • Providing required post-employment documents.
  • Conducting a smooth and compliant offboarding process.
  • And more!
