termination of employment
Termination of employment means ending the job relationship between an employee and employer. This can happen in different ways, like when an employee decides to quit, or an employer decides to fire or dismiss an employee.
This term covers various situations where employment ends. For example, if an employee chooses to leave their job, it's called resignation. If the employer ends the employment, it could be due to firing (often for performance or conduct reasons) or dismissal (which might involve redundancy or business changes). The process and implications of termination vary depending on whether it's initiated by the employee or the employer.
