termination-review

To review a planned employee termination for legal risks, screen for discrimination, retaliation, and documentation flags, then structure compliant severance and final-pay steps based on the specific jurisdiction. This process identifies litigation drivers like protected leave or thin documentation before proceeding.

Final pay and PTO payout rules are jurisdiction-specific, requiring jurisdiction-aware research to verify exact timing and mandated payout calculations. A termination review checks state-specific final pay timing, accrued PTO payout rules, and required termination notices.

WARN Act or mini-WARN triggers apply during reductions in force or mass layoffs when employee headcount thresholds mandate advance termination notices. A termination review identifies these jurisdiction-specific obligations to ensure compliance during position eliminations.

To structure a severance agreement with OWBPA older worker protections, apply specific consideration and disclosure rules for group and individual releases. The termination review analyzes OWBPA requirements to verify older-worker protection considerations are met when planning severance.

Common discrimination and retaliation flags include protected class timing, protected leave, whistleblower activity, comparator issues, and thin documentation. The termination review screens for these high-risk litigation drivers alongside handbook promises and exempt misclassification patterns.

Yes, a termination review works for performance-based firings, misconduct, reduction in force, and position eliminations. It applies a checklist-based workflow to the described scenario, running jurisdiction-aware research to produce a formatted risk-flag memo draft with escalation prompts.
