The Performance Improvement Process - PIP's

Handling Employee Terminations

Due to the severity of an employee’s conduct or performance, sometimes termination is appropriate and warranted. Keep in mind the following when terminating the employee: 1. Were similarly situated employees terminated for the same behavior? 2. Is there documentation and evidence to support the termination? 3. Conduct terminations without emotion – do not do it when you are upset. Always try to give the employee some control and leave them with as much dignity as possible.

Partner with People Relations

Partner with your HR Generalist before making the decision to terminate an employee. Ask for support on how to address an issue OR would like guidance on how to write a PIP.
