Managing Dismissals

Learning Objective 6

  • Explain the factors you would consider when dismissing an employee.

Not all employee separations are voluntary. Some career plans and appraisals end not in promotion or graceful retirement but in dismissal—involuntary termination of an employee’s employment with the firm. The best way to “handle” such involuntary turnover is to avoid it in the first place, when possible. For example, many dismissals start with bad hiring decisions. Using assessment tests, reference and background checks, drug testing, and clearly defined jobs can reduce the need for dismissals. 89
