When an individual is terminated from a job, the relationship is essentially ended between employer and employee. Job termination can be a serious event that has the potential to turn for the worse for the employer. It is common practice for the employer to provide the employee with a termination letter following a conversation regarding the termination. The letter details the job termination and outlines any benefits the employee might continue to enjoy and for how long. Certain laws dictate when it is acceptable to terminate a worker's employment. For this reason, employers must be cautious when ending an employment relationship.
