Termination
['Performance Management']
- It may be appropriate to immediately terminate an employee for such things as theft, poor job performance, harassment of other employees, or violent threats or actions.
The final step in progressive disciplinary action (which may also be an employer’s immediate response to a serious offense) is termination of employment or discharge. While almost any offense could eventually lead to termination, it may be appropriate to immediately terminate an employee for such things as theft, poor job performance, harassment of other employees, or violent threats or actions.
