Performance improvement plans can create clarity, establish measurable expectations, and give an employee a meaningful opportunity to improve. However, they must be used thoughtfully.

In our latest video, Abigail Wearden explains when a PIP may be helpful, what an effective plan should include, and the legal and practical issues employers should consider before starting the process. Watch the video at the link in the comments below.

The non-compete saga continues. The FTC's proposed ban on most non-competes never took effect, leaving employers to navigate a state-by-state patchwork of rules.

Tennessee, Washington, and Virginia recently adopted new restrictions affecting when non-competes can be used and enforced. Other states also introduced new limits, particularly in the health care industry.

Keeping up with laws that vary by state, and continue to change, can be challenging. These updates are a timely reminder for employers to review their agreements and stay current on the laws where their employees work.

The purchase agreement defines a business transaction, explains how the purchase price will be calculated and paid, and establishes what the buyer and seller are each promising about the deal.

It also allocates responsibility if those promises prove to be inaccurate, sets the parties' obligations before and after closing, and identifies what must happen before the transaction can be completed.

Each part of the purchase agreement creates the legal framework for completing the transaction and manging risk along the way.

How an acquisition is financed can affect the buyer's ability to complete the transaction, and it can also impact the company's liquidity, ownership, and obligations after closing.

Most acquisitions are financed through cash, debt, equity, or some combination of the three. Cash financing may simplify the transaction but reduces available capital. Debt financing can preserve ownership but creates repayment obligations and lender restrictions. Equity financing may limit the need for debt but requires owners to share control and future returns.

Good employment practices rarely make headlines. But clear expectations, timely conversations, and consistent decisions can make a big difference when workplace issues come up.

Kinda chic to stay ahead of workplace issues, if you ask us.
