External Webinar: Terminating California Employees, Exiting with Confidence: Best Practices for Lawful Terminations and Litigation Prevention
June 17, 2026 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
(PDT)
Description
A termination is one of the highest-risk decisions a California employer makes - and often the first thing a plaintiff's attorney scrutinizes when a claim comes in. Performance issues, misconduct, protected leave, final pay deadlines, and severance terms all have to be weighed before the decision is final, and a misstep on any one of them can turn a routine separation into a wrongful termination, discrimination, or retaliation claim.
Join Anthony Zaller and Anne McWilliams for a practical Masterclass designed to help California employers make sound, defensible termination decisions while minimizing litigation exposure. Attendees will leave with actionable guidance on documentation, pre-termination risk assessments, separation and final pay requirements, and severance and release agreements.
