The need to terminate the employment of staff may arise in a variety of situations, and care needs to be taken to ensure this is done legally and sensitively with the impact on the workplace community fully considered. This session provides a guide to the processes for employee separation, including:

• In what circumstances can an employee’s employment be terminated? Understanding relevant awards and contractual provisions
• Whose decision? When should the Board be involved?
• Processes where alleged misconduct is involved - investigations and communications
• Treatment of older employees - avoiding age-based discrimination and unconscious bias
• Management of under-performers - conducting performance reviews and ongoing management
• When is redundancy appropriate?
• Record keeping essentials
• Managing disputes and complaints
• Dealing with the fall-out in the workplace
