Overview: When strategic direction, economic downturn, or other business considerations require a workforce reorganization -- be it a reduction, restructuring or realignment -- executives, managers and human resources personnel are often under considerable pressure to bring about change immediately. Business demands may leave little time or energy for deliberation over the details. Odds are, however, that one or more of the affected employees will seek legal advice. Thus, businesses can expect that at least one creative plaintiff's lawyer will be eyeing the articulated business considerations and the workforce reorganization under a microscope for potential legal claims.
