Just Cause Terminations: What Employers Need to Know

Employers have a high bar to meet when terminating an employee for “just cause”. This has left employers asking the question: “Can employers ever successfully terminate for cause?”

This webinar will demonstrate that just cause terminations can be defensible when an employer has implemented appropriate processes and strategies. In this session, we will provide a comprehensive review of just cause terminations in both unionized and non-unionized settings, which will include practical examples and helpful tips to allow you to effectively investigate employee misconduct, engage in effective progressive discipline, and carry out terminations for just cause.

We will discuss:

• The process for investigating and documenting misconduct
• The concept, purpose, and importance of progressive discipline
• Strategies for assessing whether “just cause” has been established
• Types of conduct that typically warrant terminations for “just cause”
• Tips for implementing the termination
