Reductions in Force: The Puzzle, The Process, The Alternatives

In these challenging economic times, employers have been forced to discharge employees in numbers not seen since the last recession. Learn about the rules that apply to economic reductions in force and how to avoid liability that can be greater than the projected savings of downsizing. This session will discuss the issues and answer your questions relating to the selection of employees for termination, furloughs, salary reductions, the drafting of enforceable releases, compliance with WARN and “mini-WARN” state statutes, other state obligations, and ERISA.

We will also provide you a checklist for this painstaking process to ensure your RIF complies with applicable law.
