“Danger Zone” - Reductions in Workforce, Separation Agreements, and Statistics

When economic indicators point toward a downturn, employers may need to take measures to reduce costs and increase operational efficiency.. A reduction in force (RIF) is one of the many routes employers may choose to take—often a particularly difficult decision to make along with the use of severance agreements. But there are many pitfalls, including disparate impact analyses and compliance with age discrimination laws. This program will provide important guidance as employers plan for the next year.

We invite you to join us on Tuesday, November 1, 2022 as we explore best practices and tips for preparing for a slowdown. Among our presenters will be a statistical expert who will share his insights into how statistical analysis can help shape a business decision. 

TOPICS

• Separation agreements
• WARN Act
• ADEA /OWBPA
• How to conduct reductions in force
• Disparate impact and the basics of statistical analyses
