We all know that terminating or firing an employee is probably the worst part about being a business leader, manager, or a business owner.

It’s not fun, it can be emotional, and if not handled well…you could expose yourself to some pretty significant risk.

Firing or terminating an employee isn’t supposed to be that scary. For various reasons, parting ways is sometimes the best course of action.

However, when we terminate employees, there are so many other things to consider than just the conversation such as:

  • Am I exposed to legal risk if I terminate this employee? 

  • What do I say during the meeting that is safe?

  • How soon do I pay out this employee?

  • How do I calculate additional severance? When do I need to consider this?

  • I’ve heard that I can protect my company by offering a bit more money to them. How do I go about reducing the risk and damages to my organization?

  • Why does it matter which date or time I terminate my employee?

  • What documents do I need to provide my ex-employee if I terminate them?

In this course, you’ll learn all of this… plus more.  When it comes to terminating an employee, more information is always better than less. If done well, terminating an employee won’t hurt your employee engagement or your employee experience. In fact, when communicated properly, terminating an employee can lead to greater employee retention in the long term.

Ensure you’re prepared for this by starting on this one-stop-shop course today!
