Question: Explain employee separation methods?

Answer:

Employee Separation:

It is the end of a professional employment relation of an employee. He/she ceases to be


associated with an organization. The turnover rate is measured through employee separation.
There are various reasons for employee separation, mainly voluntarily or involuntarily.
Following is the detail of each method:

 Voluntary Separation:

Also called voluntary resignation occurs when an employee leaves an organization voluntarily
for certain reasons while the organization does not want to lose that employee. There could be
various reasons for voluntary resignation, maybe the employee is not satisfied with the culture,
environment, dissatisfaction of the workforce, or is availing better opportunities. It is different
from being fired, laid off or downsized because the decision is made by the employee not the
employer.

 Involuntary Separation:

Also called involuntary termination occurs when the organization decides to fire or terminate the
employee and end the employment relation, while the employee wants to continue. This could
happen because of the poor performance of the employees, economic necessity, downsizing or
the employee fails to fulfil his duties. In this scenario, the decision is made by the employer not
the employee.

 Lay Off:

It is the suspension or termination of an employee by the organization to reduce the staff,


reorganization, lack of work, lack of funds, restructuring, technological advancements etc.
Layoffs are involuntary unfair way to fire an employee and effects multiple employees
simultaneously. It mostly happens because the organization is cutting costs for some reason.
Maybe, because the organization wants to pay off its debts etc.

 Violation of laws:

Violation of laws or legal objections happens when an employee violates the origination goals,
such an employee is terminated by the organization and leads to dismissal from his job. Certain
steps are taken to investigate the employee before dismissal, depending upon the company laws.

 Natural Disaster:

Another reason for employee separation is because of natural disasters such as pandemics,
earthquakes, floods, causing physical damage to the workplace. In such a situation employee
separation occurs. Physical damage to the workplace and disruption in business operations are
the main concerns. Depending upon the severity of disaster, the employer may facilitate the
employee by remote work, temporary leaves, counselling services, financial support or job
retraining etc.

 End of contract:

This is another method of employee separation in which an employee has to leave at the end of
the contract. Contract expiration dates are used in fixed contracts in which the relationship of
employment ends on a specified date that was mentioned at the time of agreement.

 Poor Performance:

Poor performance leads to employee separation when an employee consistently fails to meet
organizational goals and doesn’t fulfill his duties, job expectations and requirements. Employer
cn detect poor performance by performance evaluation, feedback, performance improvement
plans (PIPs).

 Disease or Death:

In case of any disease, temporary suspension may be granted to the employee as well as financial
assistance. However, if the disease is long-term, paralysis, mental instability or in case of death
the organization terminates the employee.

 Political Instability:
Main aspect of political instability is political uncertainty, which affects business’ operations and
financial performance leading to job insecurity of employees. It disrupts business operations
because of protests, strikes or civil unrest. Political instability raises security issues because of
regions affected by violence or terrorism. Ultimately, loss of skilled candidates, investors and
reputation.

 Economic crises:

During economic crises, organizations face difficulty in operating its businesses, financial
difficulties, increased turnover, downsize, layoffs, competition, lack of morale, nonachievement
of organizational goals and ultimately closure.
