Employment: The Corporate L-Word
How to properly administer a layoff (and avoid lawsuits)
- Last hired, first to go?
- Is Friday better than any other day of the week?
- What about the end of a pay period?
- Should you offer two weeks’ severance or more?
According to a recent article in the Guide to Human Resources housed on About.com, your first move should be speaking with an attorney or consultant who specializes in layoffs. The answers may depend on the practices your company has used before, and a variety of legal and ethical guidelines, many of which are spelled out by your local department of labor.
