How to Fire an Employee - Legal and Ethical Termination

How to Fire an Employee - Legal and Ethical TerminationHow to Fire an Employee - Legal and Ethical TerminationDo you need to fire an employee? If you have taken the necessary steps to help the employee improve their work performance- and they are bedrngnis working- it may be time. Most employers wait way past the optimal time to fire an employee because they are concerned about legal issues and employee morale issues. These are the legal, ethical steps to take when you fire employees. Ensure that the companys actions, as you prepare to let an employee go, are above reproach. How you fire an employee sends a powerful message to your remaining staff - either positive or negative. Employment termination is the last step in an involved process. Use it as a last resort when performance coaching hasnt worked. At the same time, do not jeopardize your companys success, a departments success, or your employees success, to retain an underperforming employee. Fire the employee to ensure the suc cess of your other employees and your business. Provide feedback,so the employee knows that he is failing The steps that you take when you prepare to fire an employee matter. Unless the actions of the employee require immediate dismissal from the premises, progressionively more intense feedback to the employee about his or her work performance is in order. Make sure that you are communicating with the employee by obtaining feedback from the employee that you are communicating effectively. Keep in mind that the goal of the feedback is to help the employee succeed and improve. The employees actions communicate powerfully, too. The employee takes the feedback to heart, and changes - or not. Document the content of the feedback meetings, and the date and times. PIPs have a terrible reputation among employees who see them as the final step prior to employment termination. This is because many employers use PIPs incorrectly or for creating a legal safeguard before termination. In my b ook, PIPs should only be used if you genuinely believe that the employee has the capability to improve. Anything else is torture for the employee and a time consumer for managers and HR staff. In the case of managers and HR personnel, a PIP is almost never appropriate. If a manager is failing badly enough to require a PIP, rarely will he or she regain the necessary confidence of reporting employees or his or her own supervisor. HR staff has too much access to highly confidential, irreplaceable information. In addition, because of their position, the damage to your confidence in them and their credibility is almost impossible to surmount. How To Provide Feedback That Has an ImpactMake your feedback have the impact it deserves by the manner and approach you use to deliver feedback. Your feedback can make a difference to people if you can avoid a defensive response.Performance Improvement StrategiesUse behauptung strategies to help the employee improve his or her performance. You will know that you did your level best to help the non-performing employee succeed.Coaching for Improved PerformanceLooking for a step-by-step coaching approach you can use to help an employee improve his work performance? This approach avoids the need for discipline and produces great results. How to Hold a Difficult ConversationChances are good that one day you will need to hold a difficult conversation. These steps will help you hold difficult conversations when people need professional feedback.Performance Development Planning ProcessIf your normal process is not assisting the employee to succeed at work, and you believe there is hope that the employee can and will improve his performance, you will need to introduce a Performance Improvement Plan.Performance Improvement PlanThe Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) is designed to facilitate constructive discussion between a staff member and his or her supervisor and to clarify the work performance that needs improvement. The PIP is impl emented, at the discretion of the supervisor, when it becomes necessary to help a staff member improve his or her performance.This format enables you to set goals, establish measures, conduct review sessions and chart progress. No specific amount of time is required for an employee to follow a performance improvement plan. In fact, if no progress is made, you can terminate an individuals employment after several weeks. Steps to Employment Termination If you believe that the employee is unwilling or unable to improve his performance, you will want to start a progressive disciplinary action. Again, documentation is critical so you have a record of the steps you took in the process. Use this Progressive Discipline Warning Formto document each step.As with the PIP, however, if you do not believe that the employee is capable of improving, why not terminate employment now? Youll spare everyone the agony of a long, drawn-out process. Certainly, at this point in your relationship with the employee, if the supervisor has done her job, you have sufficient performance counseling records and disciplinary action forms on file to fire the employee. Following the steps in the progressive discipline should be consistent for each employee you fire, once you decide to start on this path (which you dont need to do) unless an event out-of-the-ordinary occurs. You may also provide the employee with any number of options, starting with the performance improvement plan step.?You can ask the employee if he wants to voluntarily quit rather than participate in a disciplinary action procedure. You can agree on a timeline by when the employee will have given notice. This may, however, interfere with the individuals ability to collect unemployment. You can agree that, for whatever reason, the employee is incapable of doing the job, provide a couple of weeks of severance pay, and say good-bye.Talk with an attorney to understand all of your options. In cases where you provide any seve rance pay, as an example, you will want to ask the departing employee to sign a release that is different for employees older than forty and under age forty. Hold the Employment Termination Meeting Eventually, you will want to schedule and hold the employment termination meeting. I would not give an employee more than a few minutes notice before the meeting. You will cause the employee unnecessary worry and upset. In most cases, however, this moment is expected. Complete the steps in the Employment Ending Checklist. Some steps, you will want to have completed before the termination meeting. Consider the termination meeting to be the employees exit interview. Most Important Lesson Learned in Firing an Employee Most people wait too long to fire an employee. If an employee is misbehaving publicly, disciplinary action should start after one event. If an employee is consistently missing due dates, and youve determined the issue is not training or another identifiable factor, gath er documentation, and fire the employee. If youve introduced a company mission and vision for your workplace and managers fail to support their implementation, fire the managers. If you are developing a culture that empowers and enables employees and a manager is persistently autocratic, fire the manager. People dont change all that much although I have witnessed transformations, I usually witness months of heartbreak and welchested effort. I have also received regular feedback that firing an employee was the best thing that ever happened to them because it caused the employee to move on to better pastures. In my most recent note from a former employee who had been on a five-day suspension, she thanked me. She had moved on, gotten her real estate license, and was looking forward to a great life. Behave legally, ethically, with kindness, civility, and compassion, but do fire employees who ought to be fired.

How Managers Can Create a Professional Work Environment

How Managers Can Create a Professional Work EnvironmentHow Managers Can Create a Professional Work EnvironmentWhat is a professional work environment, and what can a manager do to create and maintain it? A professional work environment is one that results in a workplace full of highly competent, respectful, mature, and accountable employees working towards a common goal. Its the kind of workplace that any employee would feel proud to take their children. Professional employees dont swear, gossip, bully, lie, cheat, steal, lose their tempers they leave the drama at home and dress appropriately. In other words, they look, act, and sound like professionals. Employees thrive in professional working environments where they feel respected and treated fairly at all times. Few of us enjoy working in environments where every day feels like a day at the circus. So what can a manager do to create and maintain a professional work environment? Plenty in fact, it all starts and ends with the lea der of a team or organization. Here are some actions to stimulate a professional work environment. Hiring Include elements of professionalism in job profiles and job descriptions. Look beyond impressive resumes and technical skills and use effective selection and behavioral interviewing to dig deep for signs of professional or unprofessional behaviors. Be a Role Model A job description that includes professional behaviors is worthless if the manager of a team doesnt set the right example. A manager that dresses poorly uses crude language or engages in gossip or badmouths the company will get more of the same from his/her team. On the other hand, a manager that keeps commitments admits mistakes, never loses his/her temper, and always has a positive attitude sets a positive example, and earns the right to expect the same from his/her team. Recognize and Reward Both Results and Behaviors When a manager says, all that matters is results, and I dont care how you get there, it s an invitation for unprofessional behavior. Effective managers work hard to enaya that no one crosses an ethical line. If you are told that only results count, it is a sign of a potentially toxic work environment. Be Willing to Discipline or Fire an Employee for Unprofessional Conduct Nothing sends a stronger message than coronations and executions. That is, rewarding and celebrating the right behaviors, and punishing the wrong behaviors. That means not letting a top performer get away with unprofessional conduct, and rewarding the right behaviors even if the result wasnt what you were seeking. Provide Feedback and Coaching New employees, especially employees new to the workforce, sometimes need someone to take them aside and provide feedback and coaching. An experienced, caring co-worker can also provide this kind of constructive advice. Training Im not a big fan of sensitivity, ethics, and anti-bullying training, but these kinds of training programs are often mandated by companies, so if they are, show your support and make sure all attend (starting with the managers). Some employees may need individual training in interpersonal skills, grammar, how to handle conflict, and anger management. Just dont use training if the employee already knows how thats a performance management issue, not a training issue. SeeHow to Deal With a Lazy Employeeto learn how to tell the difference. Dont Ignore Feedback From Others or Warning Signs Managers are not always in a position to observe examples of unprofessional conduct, so when a complaint is brought to the manager, it shouldnt be taken lightly. Thank the person, and ensure them you will look into it. Provide a Physical Environment That Encourages Professionalism When an organization cuts corners on office space, furniture, office dcor, cleaning services, and maintenance,its pretty hypocritical to have a discussion with an employee about their appearance. If you are expecting five-star behavior and conduct from your employees, start with giving them a five-star work environment. Stand up for Your Employees If one of your employees is the subject of harassment, abuse, a tantrum, or any other type of extreme unprofessional conduct coming from another department, supplier, or even a customer, then its up to the manager to let the employee know its unacceptable and they dont have to tolerate it. The manager should support the employee when they do stand up for themselves, and when needed, confront the offender themselves. A Professional Conduct Policy Some would say yes, that if its an important expectation for all employees, that you should spell inout inan employee handbook. I guess in some organizations that may be needed, especially to defend against wrongful termination lawsuits.On the other hand, if a manager consistently followsitems one to nine, there would be no need for a written policy. The Bottom Line Effective managers and leaders work hard to support the development of an effective working environment. Its too important for the firm, the team and for your career to leave to chance. Updated by Art Petty

What You Should Ask an Employer When Youre Fired

What You Should Ask an Employer When Youre FiredWhat You Should Ask an Employer When Youre FiredGetting fired or laid off from your job can be very stressful. Your first instinct may be to get up and leave immediately following the conversation, but you shouldnt give up so easily. There are many questions you should ask your employer when youre fired. Its important to find out exactly why your employment is being terminated if there are any steps you can take to have the decision reversed, and perhaps most importantly what, if any, the compensation youre entitled to following the firing. Questions to Ask When Youve Been Fired After youre fired or laid-off, the conversation with your employer will depend on the circumstances surrounding your termination, in addition to your personal and professional goals at that point. In general, you will want to find out how losing your job is going to affect you immediately, as well as in the longer term. Its legitimate to inquire about severa nce pay, unemployment, and what information will be shared with potential and future employers. Get the Facts If a personal or union contract protects you, you should ask for the employers justification to determine if they have legitimate grounds for their action. If like most workers, you are employed at will, the employer will leid be required to furnish a rationale for your firing. However, most supervisors will be willing to discuss at least general reasons for the decision performance and restructuring being among the most common. Check Whether You Could Appeal When you want to keep your job, you have nothing to lose by asking if there might be any leeway with their decision, or you can write an appeal letter. Also, even if you dont have contractual protections, most employers have a policy manual that underscores the conditions under which an employee can be terminated. An explanation for your firing may give you the opportunity to contest the action, but will also gi ve you insight into how you can improve your work habits for a future job. If your employer has referenced a shortcoming of yours as grounds for your firing and you believe that you can address the concern over time, you might ask if you could be placed on probation for some time in lieu of immediate termination. You can explain that you would aggressively address the weakness during the probationary period and would appreciate re-evaluation after that time. Check Whether You Could Resign Instead of Being Fired You may want to ask if you would be allowed to resign instead of being fired if you want to avoid the stigma of a firing. However, if your employer agrees, you may jeopardize your eligibility for unemployment payments. So you might also ask your employer if they would agree not to contest any claim that you make for unemployment if you resign. Check Information the Company Gives During Reference Checks Also, if they agree to a resignation, you might ask for a letter o f recommendation. You should also ask how the company will handle any inquiries about your tenure with the organization. Find out if they will share dates of employment like some organizations do, or if they will give the reason for your departure. Check on Severance and Vacation Pay and Benefits You should also inquire about any severance pay, compensation for unused vacation, sick time, and options for continuation of healthcare coverage for some time. Make sure you ask what steps you need to take to secure any compensation and to continue your health coverage.Ask about your pension and 401k so that you understand any company rules governing those assets. Get Your Computer Files If you havent backed up any personal computer files on your office computer. This is something you should always do. You can ask for the opportunity to retrieve any important documents. Depending on the circumstances, you may not be allowed access to your files once you have been notified of your t ermination. Always keep your files backed up, or better yet, away from your work computer entirely. It would be unfortunate to lose everything in the event of an unexpected change in your employment situation. Keep it Professional During the conversation, resist the temptation to lash out at your employer, or any of your colleagues, in an unprofessional manner.The satisfaction derived from any parting shots will be fleeting, but your last words will be remembered should anyone be asked, formally or informally, about your time with the organization. Even better, try to leave on a positive note, making your closing impression one of steady good judgment.

How Employers Notify Applicants About Interviews

How Employers Notify Applicants About InterviewsHow Employers Notify Applicants About InterviewsYouve successfully initiated your career search, crafting a strong resume and cover letter and sending them out to targeted employers. When should you expect to be notified whether you were one of the lucky applicants who has been selected for an einstellungsgesprch? It could be shortly after you apply- or it could be never.? When Employers Notify Candidates In many cases, you may never know definitively whether your application was received and then rejected by a company. Some employers do notify applicants that they were not selected, others do not. In some cases, its because they receive hundreds of applications for every available job opening and they may not have an automated ordnungsprinzip or the resources to notify applicants. Some job postings state that only candidates who are selected for interviews will be contacted. In other cases, you simply dont know if youll hear back o r not. In addition, the hiring process can be lengthy with multiple interviews, and the employer may not notify applicants until they have filled the job. That could take weeks or months, depending on the position within the company. For candidates who are invited to interview, you may be notified by phone, email, or by an automated messaging system if you applied via an applicant management system. Check Your Messages Since you dont know how the company will contact you, check both email and voicemail at least daily, if not more often. You dont want to lose out on an interview because the company couldnt reach you in a timely manner. Also check your email spam box daily, since important emails do sometimes go astray and end up there. How Employers Contact Applicants Employers most frequently notify applicants by phone or email, but you may even receive a written letter inviting you to interview. The email message, letter, or phone call you receive will include details on wh o you will be meeting with. You may be assigned a pre-scheduled time or you may be offered a choice of interview times. If the company requires that you prepare materials (like a lesson plan for a teaching job, for example) you will be informed as to what you should bring and how you should prepare. You should also be notified about the format of the interview. For example, the company should let you know if you are meeting with a group of individuals rather than a single interviewer. Heres a list of the main ways employers invite job applicants to interview, with samples of the messages and letters you will receive General interview invitationInterview invitation offering reimbursementPanel interview invitationSecond interview invitationInterview invitation asking a candidate to select an interview datePhone call invitation with a specific interview datePhone call invitation with options for interview datesPhone call invitation asking a candidate to select an interview date Cont acting the Employer As a general rule, hiring departments tasked with reviewing hundreds of job applications do not appreciate being approached by nervous candidates who want confirmation that their application has been received and reviewed. Should you contact them, you run the risk of being perceived as needy and annoying which is not the initial impression you want to present. If after a few weeks you absolutely have to have peace of mind, you might send an email (not a phone call) that very simply reiterates your interest in the position and your hope that, if the job is still being searched, that they will give your resume consideration. Do not ask about the position of your application. At this point, youve done the most you can do. If the employer wants to contact you, they will. Accepting or Declining a Job Interview Once offered an interview, you need to be able to provide a courteous and articulate response first impressions are important. Take a look at a sample in terview acceptance letter you can use to confirm your interview and an example of a letter declining an interview when you are no longer interested in the job. Although you may find them stressful, job interviews are actually an exciting chance for you to display your talents and enthusiasm while shopping for a wonderful new employer. A little preparation before the interview will go a long way in building your confidence and ensuring that you shine.
