OVERVIEW

• You may have heard about at will employment but what does that mean?
• If you employ your workers “at-will”, does that mean you can fire them whenever you want?
• Does invoking the doctrine of employment-at-will protect you from wrongful termination lawsuit?

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND

Many employers make the mistake of assuming that because they have an at will employment contract for an employee, terminating that employee will be a done deal and they often end up defending a wrongful termination claim.

Other employers may hold onto employees who are not performing or who may even undermine company goals and safety, because they think that terminating them will translate into wrongful termination and will automatically result in a multi-million dollar lawsuit.

Neither of those assumptions is necessarily true! So what’s an employer to do? This webinar will help you gain some insight into how to navigate your relationship with your employees, keeping employment-at-will and its exceptions in mind.
