Separating from an Employee the Legal Way

By: Elizabeth “Lisa” Ferguson from Fisher & Phillps LLP.

Terminations, layoffs, and even some resignations can easily expose organizations to legal risk if not handled correctly under California and federal law. In this session, we will cover best practices for minimizing liability—from proper documentation and communication strategies to final pay, severance agreements, and post-employment considerations. You’ll learn how to conduct separations that are both lawful and respectful, protecting your organization while preserving dignity for all involved
