Employee Termination Processes

Employee Termination Processes - Online Training Course & Certification – CPD Accredited

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.

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.
