To legally terminate an employee who is a member of a protected class, such as race or gender, you must first follow the termination procedures outlined in your company's policies and applicable labor laws. You will need to document all warnings given to the employee and document any performance issues that justify termination. It is also important to treat all employees in the same way so as not to appear discriminatory - always base decisions on objective evidence. Additionally, if an employee files a discrimination complaint against you or threatens a lawsuit for wrongful termination or any other violations of their rights under civil rights law, it’s important that you contact an experienced labor attorney immediately who can advise you on how best to navigate through the difficult employment issues associated with wrongful termination claims by employees in protected classes.
