Compliant Goodbyes: How ULTA Beauty Navigated State Separation Laws with Confidence

Saying goodbye to employees is hard enough—but doing it while maintaining compliance with every state and local separation law? That's a whole different challenge. 

To ensure compliance with state requirements, national employers must proactively develop and implement standardized separation processes. Systematized offboarding helps organizations mitigate legal risk and creates administrative efficiencies.  

In this webinar, Onwards HR CEO Sarah Rodehorst and Devon Byrne, Vice President of People Enablement at Ulta Beauty, discuss: 

  • How to navigate state-specific separation laws; 

  • Tips for developing compliant multi-state offboarding processes; and 

  • How specialized technology helps mitigate legal risk. 

Devon talks about her experience managing offboarding in retail, where high turnover, seasonal staff, and hundreds of store locations create unique complexities. She also shares how Ulta Beauty improved its process by implementing Onwards HR’s technology.  

This webinar teaches you how to simplify state separation notice compliance so that employees get the information they need—and your team spends less time on non-value-add administrative tasks.
