Labor attorney Mark Knoth will be presenting a webinar on Thursday, October 15, 2020 from noon-1:00 PM EDT hosted by Corp! Magazine. Mark will cover how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the staffing needs of businesses differently.
While some businesses require additional staff, others are contemplating reorganizations and permanent reductions in force (“RIF”). Businesses in some sectors of the economy particularly hard hit by the pandemic are contemplating permanent staff reduction.
A successful RIF must be carefully conceived to avoid potential legal pitfalls. In this presentation, employers will learn:
- how to properly plan a RIF;
- address issues related to the selection of employees for permanent layoff;
- understand WARN Act requirements;
- structure legally compliant exit incentives and involuntary severance programs; and
- understand what an enforceable release must include
Be sure to REGISTER today.
