Employment Termination Legal Risk Checker

Assess potential legal risks before proceeding with an employee termination.

Documentation & Justification

1. Is the reason for termination based on clear, objective, and well-documented performance or conduct issues?

Discrimination Risk

2. Does the employee belong to a protected class (e.g., race, gender, religion, age over 40, disability, pregnancy)?

3. Has the company treated other employees (not in a protected class) with similar performance/conduct issues more leniently?

Retaliation & Contracts

4. Has the employee recently engaged in legally protected activity (e.g., filed a harassment complaint, reported a safety violation, requested FMLA leave, whistleblowing)?

5. Is there an employment contract, union agreement, or company policy that specifies conditions for termination?
