The reasons for terminating employment can vary, from the closure of a business, e.g. when the economy is difficult and operations are unsustainable, to issues related to employees themselves.
Termination should ideally include a notice period, allowing both parties time to prepare. In some cases, it is necessary for the termination to be effective immediately. Employers must know the proper protocols, while employees should keep informed to protect their rights and ensure fair treatment.
So, how do you enable a smooth and fair termination process? For employers, what costs need to be covered? Is severance pay mandatory in all cases? How do you manage the risks of legal disputes? For employees, was the termination fair? What if there’s no employment contract? Is immediate termination without notice legal? How do you claim severance pay from your employer? What about government compensation?
