Can we fire an employee for poor performance?

The most common question we are asked by HR professionals and company management involves whether an employee’s conduct or performance justifies termination. Every situation is different and potentially prone to liability. An experienced employment attorney is the key resource in making good employment decisions and avoiding litigation risk.

Can I look at what employees post on social media and rely on it to fire or discipline someone?

Social media is a fact of life and employers need to use good judgment in monitoring their employees’ social media. Most of the time, it is legal to monitor employees’ social media use, but it may not always be the right thing to do. I encourage my employers to adopt policies regarding responsible social media use and to enforce policies in a consistent fashion.

Are my company policies up to date?

Employment laws change frequently and vary by state, city or town. A regular review of your policies and forms is essential to operating within the law. Failure to review and update your company handbook is one of the leading causes for lawsuits and claims.

We have HR, so why do we need an outside attorney investigator?

Employers come to ELP to conduct an investigation because employees feel that their HR manager will take the side of management and will not address their concerns. An experienced external investigator can uncover issues like workplace discrimination, harassment, falsification of records and other violations that may otherwise go undiscovered. Once the issues are identified, we then can make recommendations to address employee concerns to avoid claims and litigation.
