The Revival of Last-Chance Agreements as an Alternative to Termination

With hiring costs as much as $5,000 per candidate, companies are looking for alternatives to immediate termination of their employees even when a serious violation has been committed in the workplace. One option being considered is the last-chance agreement.

In this article written by Steve Loewengart, he explains what a last-chance agreement is, when such a document is appropriate and how an LCA should be drafted.
