Full details:
Employers seeking to reduce their workforce are generally under intense pressure to act quickly. Moreover, many managers view such downturns as an easy solution to removing "problem" employees.

Without proper planning and implementation, however, any potential cost savings from the reduction in force can easily be eclipsed by the resulting legal liability. Employers should therefore plan and implement reductions in force in a manner which is both legally compliant and preserves employee morale. Discover:

-Employer legal obligations relating to reductions in force
-Potential legal traps created by various applicable laws
-How to implement reductions in force with minimal liability
-The requirements of legally enforceable releases

Reductions in force are difficult and mistakes can be costly. It is therefore essential to avoid the pitfalls and ensure compliance. Learn to manage layoffs successfully and within the law.

Speaker: Marc A. Koonin is a senior associate practicing in Sedgwick, Detert, Moran, & Arnold LLP's Labor and Employment Group in San Francisco. He regularly advises employers on implementing reductions in force, employee leave, wage and hour law, and various other employment-related claims.
