Exit & Offboard - Ending Employment Fairly

Ending employment is one of the highest-risk stages of the employee lifecycle. Whether it’s a resignation, redundancy or dismissal, following the correct process is crucial — especially under the Small Business Fair Dismissal Code and general protections laws.

This session breaks down the steps to take when exiting a staff member — and what can go wrong when employers don’t follow the rules.

You’ll learn:

• What counts as a lawful termination

• Common mistakes that lead to unfair dismissal claims

• What must be included in final pay and documentation

• How to exit with confidence and compliance

Includes:
✔️ Final pay checklist
✔️ Termination process flow
✔️ Case studies from small businesses
