Can A "Protected Class" Employee Be Terminated?
Employers are free to fire workers who happen to be in a protected
class. However, according to labor attorneys, you must be able to
show that you did not fire someone "because of" his or her protected
class. You need evidence of a legitimate, business reason for the
termination. Different reasons will require different documentation.
If you're firing for general poor performance, like inadequate
productivity, you should have documentation of progressive
discipline, including written warnings (signed by the employee) and
perhaps a performance-improvement plan. You'll want to have a list
of productivity goals and results for the employee as compared with
others in the same position.
Since it is difficult to
justify terminating someone for poor performance when evaluations
all say "satisfactory," you should have performance evaluations that
reference poor productivity. And at the time of termination, the
employee would be told that the termination was because of poor
performance.
If you're laying off an employee because of
reorganization, you should document the business reasons such as
financial reports showing a decrease in business volume or a
decrease in need for a particular administrative support function.
Also have explanations why other employees were not selected for
layoff, such as an evaluation demonstrating the employee remaining
had a broader skill set or was a better team player.

Personal Guarantee Insurance Now Available
As business owners know, most can't get loans and lines of credit
even for corporations without making a personal guarantee that the
money will be repaid. That requirement has stopped more than one
would-be entrepreneur from pursuing a business dream. And for owners
of existing companies, they forgo growth if they don't want to sign
a personal guarantee.
Now there is Asterisk Financial, a
personal guarantee insurance for small business owners, to protect
them from losing everything if a business falters. Here's how it
works: Owners of small to mid-size businesses or commercial real
estate projects can buy an annual policy that will cover 30% to 70%
of their net liability for loans of $500,000 to $8 million. The
premium depends on the business’ credit worthiness and can be as low
as 1% of the loan value. The policy beneficiaries are the owners of
the business.

Original Positive-Attitude Book Highly Relevant Today!
Many of us have
read Napoleon Hill's classic book, Think and Grow Rich. But
before Hill, a man by the name of Orison Swett Marden published a
book in 1908 titled He Can Who Thinks He Can.
Here
are some of the quotes from Marden’s book written in 1908.
♦ Self-reliance is the best capital in the world. Self-depreciation is
a crime.
♦ The greatest enemies of achievement are fear, doubt and
vacillation.
♦ Every child should be taught to expect success.
The man who has learned the art of seeing things, looks with his
brain.
♦ The best-educated people are those who are always
learning, always absorbing knowledge from every possible source, and
at every opportunity.
♦ People do not realize the immense value of
utilizing spare minutes.
♦ Be yourself.
♦ Your judgment is your
best friend; your common sense is your great life partner.
♦ Do not
stop dreaming.
♦ A test of the quality of the individual is the
spirit in which he does his work.
♦ Some people never see any
beauty anywhere. Others see it everywhere.
♦ Your life work is your
statue.
♦ Some of the greatest men in history never discovered
themselves until they lost everything but their pluck and grit.
♦ Responsibility is a great power developer.
♦ If one is so loosely
attached to his occupation that he can be easily induced to give it
up, you may be sure that he is not in the right place.
