Associates Casey Williams and Yesenia Z. Carrillo authored the Nonprofit PRO article titled “5 Tips for Nonprofit Leaders to Avoid Claims of Wrongful Termination” which discusses best practices for nonprofits to terminate employees to avoid wrongful termination claims.

The article advises that nonprofits:

  1. Not act impulsively;
  2. Follow all applicable policies and contractual requirements precisely;
  3. Review the employee’s file prior to termination and to know all of the facts;
  4. Cautiously consider the reason for termination; and
  5. Consider offering the employee severance in exchange for signing a release.
