Why Choose Our Termination & Layoff Support Services?

Comprehensive Termination Support:

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.

Strategic Layoff Planning:

Layoffs require careful planning and execution to avoid unnecessary disruption and to protect your company’s reputation. We work with you to develop a strategic layoff plan that considers business needs, legal requirements, and the impact on your workforce. 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.

Compliance & Legal Considerations:

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.

Employee Communication & Support:

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.

Severance & Benefits Management:

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.

Documentation & Recordkeeping:

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.

Tailored Solutions for Your Business:

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.

Ongoing Support & Partnership:

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. Our partnership approach means we’re here to support you every step of the way.
