Program Overview

Terminating employees is one of the challenging roles of an HR practitioner. Improper execution may lead to lawsuits that may cause the company a huge amount of expenses.

There are 2 types of termination, just and authorized causes. The just causes of termination refer to serious misconduct, willful disobedience or insubordination, gross and habitual neglect of duties, fraud or willful breach of trust, loss of confidence, a commission of a crime or offense, and analogous causes.

This 2-part series training program will help HR practitioners learn the proper process of implementing termination. This module will focus on the Just causes for termination, its process and jurisprudence.
