Score positions on the Selection Scorer before any name is said out loud. Criteria first and people second is the order that survives review.
What is inside
Taken from the kit’s own Start Here guide, so what you see here is what you open after checkout.
Also in the download: RIF and Restructuring Savings Planner (Excel, file 4), WARN Threshold and Aggregation Calculator (Excel, file 5), WARN Act Compliance Guide (PDF, file 7), WARN Notice Letter Templates (editable Word, file 8), Plan the Restructure Start Here (PDF, file 9), and RIF and Restructure Planning Templates (editable Word, file 13). Every file is in the same folder, named with the number shown here so the steps below point straight at it. Open these in Word to change the wording for your own company before you use them.
How to use it
Step 1 is the RIF and Restructure Planning Field Guide, file 6. Work down from there, and by step 5 you track each separation to a clean close.
Read the Field Guide first. It frames whether a reduction is the answer, what a defensible one looks like, and where the legal weight sits.
Set your business reason and decisional unit, then score positions on the Workbook’s Selection Scorer. Choose your criteria before any names go in. Check for adverse impact.
Run your selections through the Adverse-Impact Review by age, sex, and race or ethnicity, and slow down on any group kept at a lower rate. Map timing and paperwork.
Use the WARN Screen and Timeline, the OWBPA Group Disclosure if you are releasing anyone 40 or older, and the templates for the business case, the notification script, and the separation checklist.
Track each separation to a clean close. Use the Separation Tracker for notice, the release, the revocation window, and final pay. A release is not final until the revocation period passes.

Before you buy
The point of a product page is to let you judge the work before checkout.
8 PDF guides, 3 Excel workbooks, 2 Word documents, each one named in the What is inside section above. The purchase is a download, not a subscription, and the files are yours to keep.
Yes. The preview images on this page are taken from the current deliverable, so you can judge the structure and writing before buying.
The files are designed to be edited for your own internal operations. Review the included license and have legal counsel check decisions that require jurisdiction-specific advice.
Use the $149 Setup Session for one hour of implementation help on this tool. TrueStep HR does not offer broader consulting engagements. For a legal question, use qualified counsel.
