HR Chat: Exit Interviews

As an organization, we are interested in implementing exit interviews for employees who voluntarily separate from employment. Because this would be a new practice for us, we want to ensure the process is compliant with applicable laws and best practices. Before conducting our first exit interview, we would like guidance on whether participation can be required for all resigning employees and what types of questions are permissible to ask during these interviews.

Making wrong moves in these tricky situations can not only lead to employees filing claims but also bring attention from other agencies, costing you time and money. Employers with the ASK HR subscription can consult with myHRcounsel employment attorneys any time to discuss ADA, FMLA, and other federal laws and receive expert guidance on the steps that you can take with your employees.
