Terminating an employee requires multiple essential steps throughout the process. You must maintain accurate documentation that demonstrates the cause for firing which could be performance-based or behavioral. Arrange a confidential meeting with the employee to deliver the decision in a clear and respectful manner.
Provide feedback to the employee followed by a discussion of severance and benefits before detailing the subsequent actions they need to take like collecting personal belongings. Complete the termination process by collecting company property and filling out the termination letter paperwork.
