HW-1: What Is The Difference Between Termination and Separation? Answer
Answer:
Employment separation occurs when the employment contract or at-will agreement between an
employee and his or her company comes to an end whether voluntarily or involuntarily. Employee
termination is the release of an employee against his or her will.
A separated employee is one who leaves an employment situation for any reason, whether
voluntary or involuntary. A terminated employee is involuntarily let go, usually because of poor
performance or lack of work.
In separation, employees leave the job voluntarily whereas in termination, employees are asked to
leave the job.
