Employee terminations:  challenging, occasionally anxiety-inducing, almost universally disliked, risky if done incorrectly, sometimes necessary.  Employee terminations are like the root canal of the HR/employment space.

From documentation and final pay considerations to communicating with impacted employees, HR professionals play a critical role in managing employee separations.  But managing separations well starts before the termination meeting.  Employers who give employee terminations careful consideration can minimize legal risk, protect morale, and ensure a respectful transition for separated employees.

Please join us on October 28, 2026 for “HR ShopTalk: Top 10 Employment Termination Tips.”  K|W|W attorneys Tom Green and Helena Oroz will share practical guidance, discuss best practices, and answer your questions about how to make employee terminations a little less painful.
