Navigating Employment Termination And Separation For Health Care Professionals

If you are terminated from your job, regardless of the reason, it is very important to seek legal consultation. Legal steps are necessary to protect your career and reputation. You will likely need to consider a settlement and separation agreement, release of liability and issues including pay, benefits payout, malpractice tail coverage, noncompete provisions, reference letters, medical staff privileges and more.

Walking away from a job without an agreed upon and executed separation agreement is not recommended because you will not have a documented understanding of promises and expectations and you will have nothing to enforce.

What To Keep In Mind After Parting Ways With Your Employer

Physicians and other health care providers frequently encounter career transitions, whether by choice or due to changes in their employer’s financial situation, organizational culture or other factors. During these times, it’s essential for providers to be aware of the obligations from their tenure that might expose them to legal scrutiny post-employment.

A significant risk arises if the insurance coverage for your role ends with the employment, leaving the you powerless over subsequent events. It is crucial to thoroughly document and review the roles you held during employment and to inform your past employer of the necessary steps for role termination.

Should there be no evidence of formal discharge from these duties, take proactive measures like submitting resignations or notifying relevant bodies of your departure. Seeking legal counsel during this process can help provide the guidance you need to move forward. Our attorneys are ready to assist you in ensuring a secure and compliant transition from your previous employment.
