Understanding Key Termination Scenarios
In navigating the complexities of employee termination, three primary scenarios often require intervention: resignation, mutual termination, and dismissal. Each situation carries its own procedures and considerations, demanding a nuanced approach to ensure compliance and fairness.
01. Resignation: A voluntary act where an employee decides to end their employment, typically involving notice periods and handover of responsibilities.
02. Mutual Termination: An agreement between employer and employee to terminate the employment contract, often used to resolve situations unsuited to unilateral termination amicably.
03. Dismissal: An employer-initiated termination, usually due to performance issues, misconduct, or redundancy, requiring adherence to legal standards to avoid wrongful termination claims.
Key aspects of the termination process
01. Minimum 5 Days’ Notice Request: To facilitate a smooth termination process, we request a minimum of 5 days’ notice before the intended end date. This period allows us to review the case thoroughly and prepare all necessary documentation.
02. Imperative Communication with Horizons: Before taking any action concerning an employee, it is imperative that you inform Horizons. Failing to do so can lead to claims of unfair dismissal. Please refrain from mentioning termination intentions or restricting an employee’s access to company systems without our guidance.
03. Consideration of Mutual Agreement Option: Unilateral dismissal within the Employer of Record (EoR) framework can be complex in certain regions. We advise considering the mutual agreement option, even if the initial intent is unilateral. This approach can help navigate legal complexities associated with termination.
