Dismissal - telling the employee

Dismissing an employee is never easy and most managers dread the thought of having to tell one of their employees that they are being “fired.”

It is important for employers to have documented policies and procedures in place to assist managers in executing terminations, as well as to ensure employees understand what to expect during a termination of employment process. The employer must ensure a fair and equitable process is carried out to reduce the risk of unfair dismissal claims.
