employee termination
Ending someone's job
Employee termination is the ending of someone's employment, whether voluntary or involuntary.
The phrase appears most often in HR contexts and legal documents, where its clinical tone softens the reality of firing or laying off workers.
The company's employee termination policy requires two weeks' notice.
Resignation and retirement are also technically forms of employee termination, though the phrase usually implies the employer made the decision.
