Termination Checklist for 2024 (Procedures and Guidelines)
There’s no doubt about it - laying off employees is extremely difficult but sometimes necessary for business. But what all goes into a layoff and how do you make sure those steps are properly followed?
From personal experience, I know this can be a lot to remember which is why we’ve put together a detailed termination checklist around proper procedures and guidelines.
This guide shows you what to pay attention to when you're laying off employees. It talks about the right way to perform a termination, making a clear plan for letting people go, following legal rules, arranging for severance pay, and being kind to the people affected.
Think of it like a map for handling layoffs in a careful and organized way.
What's really great about this checklist is that it doesn't just tell you about the correct rules and regulations to follow. It also provides an explanation for each aspect and reasoning why.
Make it your own when it comes to building the steps needed to properly lay off employees, but hopefully this will help get things started. Best of luck!
