Overview

Employee Termination Process – Online Course – CPD Accredited

Welcome to our online Employee Termination Process training course. All our online training courses, programmes and qualifications are accredited by the CPD Certification Service (CPDUK).

Having to fire an employee is never an easy task. Sometimes, despite attempts of open communication and encouraging performance, an employee will need to be terminated from the company. One of the hardest aspects of preparing to fire an employee is to separate the emotions from the facts. Firing an employee should always be a last resort, so it is important that the manager has covered all other avenues possible before moving forward.

With our Employee Termination e-learning course, learners will begin to see how important it is to develop a core set of skills when they find themselves in a situation where they have to let an employee go.

What is termination of employment?

“Termination of employment is an employee’s departure from a job. Termination may be voluntary on the employee’s part, or it may be at the hands of the employer, often in the form of dismissal or a layoff”

When it becomes necessary to dismiss an employee, it is important for the employer to:

  • Be informed about and comply with legislation
  • Treat the employee fairly and act in good faith
  • Handle the termination process in a professional way that preserves the employee’s dignity.”

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
