Will the termination breach a verbal or implied contract of employment?

  27. Termination Meeting Make a judgment call on escorting terminated employee out of the building or asking them to leave on their own, quietly. If an employee refutes the termination, the hiring manager should emphasize that the organization has made this business decision and that it is final.

What Not To Do During A Termination Meeting Lie about the reason an employee is being terminated: layoff, budget constraints, position not needed Apologize to employee for having to be the one to terminate them Have the termination be a surprise – employee should be aware of performance issues Be disrespectful or become overly emotional during the meeting
