Compliance Key INC - Human Resource Training Online
Overview
*Free Compliance Tools for All Attendees: Volatile Termination Checklist to Reduce Impact of Volatile Terminations
Employers have always avoided the termination process and discussions either because it is not easy to terminate someone or because it can be difficult to defend any allegations of wrongful termination. Cases of wrongful termination have emerged and increased since the late 2000 year. Research has identified the following factors in this increase:
  • Employees more aware and knowledgeable of the workplace rights;
  • Employees taking chances in making "a killing" by charging discrimination;
  • The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was created to protect employees from Employer and workplace discrimination. There is a thin line between allegations of discrimination and the Employer's need to dispute al claims even if the allegations are not true;
  • Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) establishing increased awareness on how employees can make these charges;
  • New whistle blower protections for employees who turn in Employers;
  • More resources on websites by Department of Labor (DOL) providing employees with ways to confirm if Employers are violating current regulations;
  • Are termination decisions made by Employers passing the smell test to follow through?
  • How are terminations handled by Employers and are they ensuring that all factors and risk are taken into consideration?
Because of these and other factors, Employers are now more than ever, at risk of litigation against termination decisions. The EEOC has established definitions and guidelines of what constitutes discrimination and what employees are part of "protected classes" and discrimination claims. Now that there have been additional protections under EEOC, Employers should consider these regulations and prepare for those potential risks.
Employers need to be aware of the cost of these actions via litigation, fines & penalties and even criminal sanctions. Employers need to ask if they have the protections they need when they make decisions on termination, reduction in force, demotion, suspensions and disciplinary actions.

They are mandated by federal regulation, however, the regulations concerning design controls are vague in terms of the specific process steps required and the approaches that should be taken to achieve compliance should be developed.
