Description

Terminations are one of the biggest legal risk areas for small businesses—and many employers don’t realize they’ve made a mistake until a demand letter or wrongful dismissal claim lands on their desk. In this practical webinar, Darcy Michaud, veteran HR consultant and Chief Services Officer at HR Covered Inc., will break down the most common termination traps small businesses fall into—and how to avoid costly errors. Drawing on years of real-world experience advising employers across Canada, Darcy will walk through what actually holds up when an employment relationship ends.

You’ll learn how to: 

• Draft and review employment agreements that actually hold up at termination Understand when you can rely on contractual termination clauses—and when you can’t 
• Calculate termination pay correctly, including ESA vs. common law exposure Manage terminations with and without cause (and know the difference) 
• Avoid common missteps that trigger wrongful dismissal claims 
• Use releases properly to reduce future legal risk 

This session is designed for business owners, HR professionals, and managers who want to reduce termination risk, make confident decisions, and avoid expensive surprises.
