"We’re laying you off."

"You’re being fired for cause."

"I’m leaving tomorrow."

Employment termination — Where do you turn when you have to handle one of the most uncomfortable, difficult, and sometimes risky tasks delegated to human resources? The Employment Termination Source Book gives you tools and expert information to help handle employment terminations successfully and humanely. This book will help you:

• Understand the legal issues in terminations and reduce exposure to legal claims with discussion, tip lists, charts, tables, and flowcharts.
  
• Simplify the documentation of actions undertaken before, during, and after separation.
  
• Create practical, adaptable materials for the many involuntary and voluntary types of terminations—from firing for cause, to job abandonment, to leave of absence, to layoffs, to resignations.
  
• Develop exit-interview materials that can turn a termination into a learning process.
