Larson • King publishes The Reduction-in-Force Desk Reference

As businesses strive to remain competitive in a changing economy, mass layoffs and plant closings have become more common. Reductions-in-force (RIFs) require strategic planning, proactive communication, and awareness of the applicable laws.

To help businesses meet these challenges, Larson • King has published The Reduction-in-Force Desk Reference, a handbook with practical tips to use throughout the RIF process, including:

• Deciding to implement a RIF;
• Selecting positions for elimination;
• Complying with applicable notice requirements;
• Obtaining enforceable releases, including a state-by-state survey;
• Compiling separation packages and severance benefits; and
• Effectively communicating with employees, government, and the media.
