Dr. Johal is losing sleep over a challenges with an employee of his small dental practice. He bought the practice a few years ago and several long-term employees continued on with him. One of the long-term employees has been getting into arguments with other staff and it is creating tension for everyone. Patients were starting to complain. Dr. Johal had no idea what to do, and came to see one of our lawyers for advice. The lawyer walked Dr. Johal through the law of termination of employment, and options for performance management. Dr. Johal decided it was time to end the employment relationship, and the lawyer wrote up the paperwork and also helped him prepare for the meeting with the employee. It was a hard meeting, but Dr. Johal knew what he was offering was fair. The employee agreed to the package and his practice is now thriving.
Julia is a seasoned HR professional. She can handle most people’s problems, but every once in a while there is something really complex. Recently, Julia had to figure out how to deal with an employee who had been on a disability leave for several years, was no longer in communication with the company, but was still on payroll and benefits. Julia works regularly with one of our lawyers, so she was able to call them, review the situation, talk through her options, understand the risks and make a plan.
