Termination Review

# /termination-review

1. Load `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/CLAUDE.md` → termination review triggers, high-risk flags, severance practice, jurisdiction rules.
2. Use the workflow below.
3. Walk the checklist. Check every high-risk flag.
4. Final pay timing per employee's jurisdiction. Severance + release if applicable.
5. If any high-risk flag fires: escalate per table, don't proceed without sign-off.

## Matter context

**Matter context.** Check `## Matter workspaces` in the practice-level CLAUDE.md. If `Enabled` is `✗` (the default for in-house users), skip the rest of this paragraph — skills use practice-level context and the matter machinery is invisible. If enabled and there is no active matter, ask: "Which matter is this for? Run `/employment-legal:matter-workspace switch <slug>` or say `practice-level`." Load the active matter's `matter.md` for matter-specific context and overrides. Write outputs to the matter folder at `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/matters/<matter-slug>/`. Never read another matter's files unless `Cross-matter context` is `on`.

## Purpose

Most terminations are fine. A few are lawsuits waiting to happen. This skill
runs the checklist that catches the second kind before the decision is final.
The skill does not state the law — every jurisdiction-specific rule and
release-period requirement is researched and cited at the time of review.

## Load context

`~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/CLAUDE.md` → termination review triggers, high-risk flags, standard severance,
jurisdiction table.

## Output header

Prepend the work-product header from `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/CLAUDE.md` → `## Outputs` (it differs by user role — see `## Who's using this`). Match the memo format from seed term memos referenced in that config where one exists. The work-product header is always first.

## Workflow

### Step 1: The basic facts

- Employee name (or role if staying abstract)
- Jurisdiction (where they work)
- Reason for termination (performance, misconduct, RIF, position elimination)
- How long employed
- Age (relevant to release requirements for older-worker protections)
- Whether any other employees are being terminated as part of the same
  decisional unit or program (relevant to group-termination release rules)
- When is the planned term date

### Step 2: High-risk flag scan

This is the most important step. Check every flag from `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/CLAUDE.md`. Default
