Description
When an employee leaves a company, voluntarily or involuntarily, employers often fear the worst.
- Departing employees may have had access to very important and confidential information of the employer – client/customer lists, vendor information, pricing information. How can it protected?
- Employees may allege they are due additional salary, bonuses or commissions. Might they sue?
- There may have been issues involving suspected or alleged harassment or discrimination. What's the risk of liability?
- Employees might be disgruntled. Can anything be done to prevent disparagement of the company?
