Best Practices for Hiring, Firing and Managing Employee Performance

Description

What are the do’s and don’ts when using background checks and social media to screen job applicants?  What questions can you ask during an interview, and what questions should you avoid?  How do you address a decline in work performance when an employee has recently returned from protected leave?  What are the keys to legally and effectively handling termination and exit interviews?  And why does detailed documentation play an important role in all of these issues?

Join Skoler Abbott attorneys John Gannon, Erica Flores, and Kayla Snider, for an afternoon seminar on June 26, 2025, from 3:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m., as they walk attendees though the legal issues presented when hiring and firing employees, and discuss tips and strategies for managing non-performing employees.  This seminar will highlight:

• Ensuring compliance with federal and state laws when hiring and onboarding new employees
• How and when to appropriately discipline employees
• How to prepare for and execute termination meetings
• Importance of timely and detailed documentation to support employer decisions
• Common mistakes when employers tackle hiring, firing, and performance management
