Avoiding litigation after a reduction in workforce.
Healthcare organizations can avoid litigation after a reduction in workforce by observing Federal and state laws that protect employees, by documenting why and how the reduction will be carried out, and by training healthcare managers to terminate employment properly. Careful planning and scrupulous execution of a reduction-in-workforce plan can prevent costly lawsuits.
