TERMINATING EMPLOYMENT
A Guide to Reducing the Risks for SMEs
Terminating the employment of a staff member, particularly in a small business, can be one of the most challenging things you might need to do as a business owner or manager. Aside from the stress that comes with it (for both you and the person concerned), there’s the very real risk of being called to account for your actions in the Fair Work Commission, or elsewhere.
So, given that we know that it’s a topic of interest and importance, we’ve distilled our knowledge and experience into a free 10-page guide that provides you with the information and tips you need to manage this challenging aspect of HR with greater confidence.
So …..What’s Inside?
• Performance & Conduct: Learn how to effectively handle terminations due to general poor performance or misconduct.
• Serious Misconduct: Understand the protocols for dealing with serious misconduct that warrants termination without notice.
• Redundancies: Guidance for managing redundancies, ensuring compliance and fairness.
• Expert Tips: Benefit from practical tips to help you minimise risks and protect your business.
