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.
