How to Decrease Headcount While Avoiding an Increase in Litigation Risk 

The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) and reductions in force (RIF) are topics that already are ripe for litigation – both individual and class action. This program will review best practices and practical tips to consider when engaging in any type of downsizing or restructuring initiative. The program will start with a quick review of practical alternatives to engaging in a RIF and take a detailed review through the date of actual notification to the impacted employees.
