Remote employee termination

montybell

Greetings,

 I would like to survey as to what procedure do you typically use to terminate a remote employee in the CONUS? 

1. Do you travel to the employees location to terminate and meet at a hotel or airport? 
2. Do you bring the employee in to terminate at your corporate location?
   
3. Do you terminate via video conference?
4. None of the above?

Thanks,

Monty Bell

Hi Monty-

This is very much a case-by-case thing. I would say the usual protocol is termination via phone call with some kind of certified letter to follow up and document the conversation. If, of course, the worker is remote but fairly local, having him or her come into the office for the termination discussion might be appropriate.
