The ending of an employee's employment, whether voluntary or involuntary.
Termination refers to the end of the employment relationship between an employer and employee. Terminations can be voluntary (resignation, retirement) or involuntary (dismissal, redundancy). Involuntary terminations require careful handling to comply with employment law — including following fair procedures, providing adequate notice, and paying any statutory entitlements. HR software manages termination workflows: documenting reasons, revoking system access, processing final pay, and issuing required documentation such as P45s and reference letters.
