An Employee Termination Checklist is a document that outlines the steps organizations should take when terminating an employee. The checklist typically includes steps such as notifying the employee of the termination, ensuring that all necessary paperwork is completed, collecting company property, and providing the employee with their final pay. The checklist may also include steps related to providing outplacement services, such as offering a severance package, providing career counseling, and helping the employee find other employment. By following an Employee Termination Checklist, companies can ensure a smooth transition during the termination process.
