Mitigating Legal Risks
How to Mitigate Legal Risk When Firing Employees explores the proper and legal way to fire an employee. You can't simply terminate employees on a whim—you must consider the employee's contract, rights, and whether you have a valid reason that can withstand scrutiny in court. Even if you have legitimate grounds for termination, you can still be vulnerable to lawsuits if you don't have sufficient evidence to support your decision.
