Description
No one said being an employer or a manager was easy. Fortunately, knowing how to fire employees will make your job much, much easier in the long run and save you heartache. Firing at Will teaches you what you need to know, without any legalese or boring recitations of statutes and case law. This book is filled with plain-English common sense, based on Jay Shepherd's 17 years of protecting employers in court. The style is conversational and often irreverent, but the lessons and tips are battle-tested. If you want to be a successful manager or employer-and sleep easier-you need to know how to fire at will.
- Gives employers and managers real-world advice on how to fire employees
- Teaches how to keep your company-and yourself-out of expensive employee lawsuits
- Guides you toward building a workplace where you'll need to fire fewer employees
