Firing at Will: A Manager's Guide By Jay Sheppard

Firing at Will shows managers and employers how to do the most difficult part of their jobs: firing employees. Written by a leading employment lawyer in a refreshingly unlawyerly style, this guide takes the reader through the always-risky process of letting an employee go. Many employers and managers are afraid to pull the trigger when the employment relationship has broken down, and will postpone the decision by using progressive discipline and performance-improvement plans. However, an employer must be able to unload employees who threaten to undermine the company and its prospects, regardless of the risks involved in a termination. This book explains how to do it, how not to do it, and how to minimize the danger of an expensive employee lawsuit. What you’ll learn: How to make the ultimate decision to fire an employee, and how to carry out that decision. The 30 riskiest employees to fire. The critical “Retained Dignity” factor, and why you need to keep it as high as possible. Why progressive discipline and performance appraisals are ineffectual. How your hiring methods and decisions can help you avoid firing employees later. How to have “gruntled” employees who wouldn’t dream of suing you

New legislation in California requires all employers with 50 or more employees to train their supervisors. New rules also extend protections based on gender identity, gender expression and genetic information.

Employers must take direct and immediate steps to prevent harassment under the law. In this new publication, Attorney Richard J. Simmons of the law firm of Sheppard, Mullin, Richter and Hampton LLP, provides essential advice to employers regarding prevention steps, including training, complaint procedures, investigation techniques, and corrective action measures.
