Always ask the employees who are being laid off to sign a waiver or release form. A waiver or release is a written agreement from the employee stating that the employee will not sue you or
your company. Without a release or waiver, upset employees may sue you, your company and management for employment discrimination, contending the real reason for termination was related to their age, gender, religion or race. Even taking the least painful approach to layoffs, such as terminating someone who is very close to retirement or a woman who you know is not the primary breadwinner in the family, can lead to lawsuits for age and sex discrimination, respectively.
