OFFBOARDING:  How to Make a Clean Break with an Employee

To the business owner, letting someone go is a business decision.  To the employee, termination means an abrupt loss of their livelihood and often injury to their pride.  A worker who faces the loss of pay without immediate options for reemployment has a strong incentive to look for reasons to challenge the termination or make you pay for it.  This workshop covered the employer’s rights, duties, and risks involved in terminating a worker:

• the basic legal principles impacting a decision to terminate an employee
• employer “best practices” in this environment
• how to terminate an employee as cleanly as possible
• Colorado’s laws governing the last paycheck
