Navigate Terminations and Layoffs with Confidence and Care. Managing terminations and layoffs is one of the most challenging business aspects. Our Termination & Layoff Support services are designed to help you navigate these difficult processes with confidence, care, and compliance. We provide the expertise and support you need to handle terminations and layoffs efficiently while minimizing risks and maintaining the dignity and respect of all involved.
Terminating an employee is never easy, but it is sometimes necessary. We provide guidance and support throughout the entire termination process, ensuring that it is conducted professionally, fairly, and in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations. From preparing documentation to conducting the termination meeting, we help you handle terminations in a way that minimizes legal risks and protects your business.
Layoffs require careful planning and execution to avoid unnecessary disruption and to protect your company’s reputation.

Our approach includes detailed planning, clear communication strategies, and support for both management and affected employees, ensuring that the process is handled with transparency and empathy.
Navigating the legal aspects of terminations and layoffs is critical to avoid potential lawsuits and penalties. While we do not practice law, we have the expertise to manage the HR aspects of these processes and know when to involve legal counsel—either yours or ours. We ensure that all actions are compliant with federal, state, and local laws, including WARN Act notifications, severance agreements, and anti-discrimination laws.
Clear and compassionate communication is key to handling terminations and layoffs effectively. We help you craft and deliver messages that are respectful, transparent, and legally sound. For layoffs, we assist in preparing announcements, holding individual or group meetings, and providing resources to support affected employees, such as outplacement services and counseling.
Offering a fair severance package can help ease the transition for laid-off employees and protect your company’s reputation. We assist in developing severance packages that are equitable and compliant, ensuring that all legal obligations are met. We also manage the administration of benefits, including COBRA, and provide guidance on how to communicate these details to affected employees.
Proper documentation is essential in termination and layoff processes to protect your business from legal challenges. We ensure that all necessary documentation is prepared, maintained, and stored according to legal requirements. This includes termination letters, exit interviews, layoff notices, and records of communication.
Every termination and layoff situation is unique, and we offer tailored solutions to meet your specific needs. Whether you’re dealing with a single termination or a large-scale layoff, we provide the expertise and flexibility to handle the situation effectively and with sensitivity.
Terminations and layoffs can have a lasting impact on your business and remaining employees. We offer ongoing support to help you manage the aftermath, including employee morale, retention strategies, and rebuilding trust within your organization.

Safe Berks has retained the services of Paragon Consulting Group LLC for more than 3 years now. We find that Paragon is knowledgeable about human resource laws and guidance and its requirements in the workplace. Additionally, they are available to supervisors to discuss issues and problems with employees, provide support and guidance to resolve conflict and provide trends and ideas to increase retention and job satisfaction. I highly recommend Paragon Consulting Group LLC to address your human resource needs.
Paragon Consulting Group has been an invaluable resource for us over the last 3 years. As a small business startup, we do not have the level of in-house expertise necessary to handle the complexities of human resources management. Fortunately, Paragon has been there to guide us through our company’s initial startup, ongoing operational needs, and for various one-time issues that arise. We are proud to work with Paragon Consulting Group and would highly recommend their services to any business!
Paragon’s diligence and attention to detail were impeccable. Our company is of a transactional nature and with over 200 employees, the challenges are unavoidable. However, Paragon was able to tackle each challenge with a positive attitude and a sense of urgency. Their dedication to ensuring that all matters are addressed is commendable. It truly was a pleasure to work with Paragon.
The services offered by Paragon are extremely valuable to any employer in need of assistance with HR management. I have seen first hand how beneficial this support can be, as several of our clients have engaged the assistance of Paragon with excellent results.
Paragon has brought a thoughtful, energetic approach to our human resources needs. From finding quality team members to dealing with difficult employee discipline issues, the professionalism has benefited QPRC greatly.
We found Paragon to more than meet our expectations as a growing company. Having close to 200 employees, the HR demands were challenging and Paragon rose to meet the challenge. I always found them to be 100% responsive to my needs and they always answered promptly whether by email, text, or phone. They were always pleasant to engage with and their answers were well researched and documented. I don’t think Progressive Dental Concepts would be where it is today, without Paragon’s help.
Paragon provided this CEO with calm and measured guidance during several periods of challenging human resource issues. They responded promptly to our initial request and whenever questions arose. In one-on-one interactions, they always treated employees with compassion and respect, no matter the situation. Their deep experience enables them to share recommendations grounded in reality, and their frank assessments of our needs helped us make the necessary decisions that are best for our mission.
Human Resources, that is, managing the workforce, can get REAL tricky, REAL fast. As employers, we have a responsibility to treat our employees with fairness, empathy, and the highest possible degree of ethics. To that end, Paragon has guided our agency through some very difficult times while completely revamping and professionalizing the critically important human resources operation in our agency. From the development of our first-ever employee handbook, rebuilding our personnel files, providing education on fair labor practices, developing market research for our board of directors, and sitting in during difficult employee matters, Paragon has been invaluable to the success of our agency. TASC is honored and privileged to know that we can always turn to Paragon for help!
Danielle has been a partner with our company dating back to 2011, in an executive advising, instructional, and mentoring capacity. I began my professional career in the world of Human Resources over two years ago and entered this position with limited exposure to the strategic and legal side of HR. Danielle has been instrumental in my development. She takes the time to thoroughly discuss situations from a legal standpoint, has sound advice on best practices, and genuinely cares about the well-being of our company and my continued personal development. I would recommend her to any organization looking to create an HR department or reinforce their current one.
Thank you for all that you have done for us during your time with the DoubleTree. Having lived and worked in the consulting world for many years, I know that contracts are contracts, and you do what you were hired to do. However, I also know that what sets you apart from other consultants is how you react, solve, engage, and adjust according to a client’s needs. Paragon came to us during a transitional time for the hotel with regards to Human Resources and benefits. We appreciate how you put resources in place for us, changed those resources, when necessary, stayed available to us for all the crazy phone calls, and remained a steadfast partner in a time of change. Thank you for being so helpful, flexible, and patient. Your work with us was very important and very appreciated. I look forward to working with you, in some capacity, in the future!
