Identifying the Reasons for Cessation of Employment
Identifying the Reasons for Cessation of Employment
Cessation of employment can be simply defined as either the employee leaving the organization for his personal reasons or the organization terminating the employment for any reason. When it comes to employees willing resigning from work, the reason, most of the time if de-motivation.
Torrington (2008), who is an HR expert, mentions 10 reasons why people leave companies. Those are,
- Relationship with boss
- Bored and unchallenged by the work itself
- Relationships with co-workers
- Opportunities to use skills and abilities
- Contribution of work to the business goals
- Autonomy and independence
- Meaningfulness of job financial stability
- Overall corporate culture and
- Management recognition of employee job performance
And there are the reasons for the company to terminate the employees from their work. Torrington (2008), presents top five reasons why the people are being terminated in s. Those are,
- An employee lacks integrity and you have caught him or her in repeated lies or underhanded actions.
- The employee can‘t do the job.
- The employee demonstrates that he/she doesn‘t fit the company‘s culture
- The employee fails to keep commitments.
- The employee behaves unethically and ignores the company code of conduct.
Cessation of employment can happen for various reasons in the organization resignation, layoff, merger/ buyout, for case or poor performance.
- Resignation: An employee can give his resignation in any times for many reasons. He has to give an exit interview to determine the cause and a written resignation documents.
- Layoff: if the organization faces loss they can lay off their employees. If the company is facing financial problems or a particular job no longer is needed, it may lay off employees in fair and legal ways.
- Merger/ buyout: if the company merge with other companies or they buyout their companies, employers may lost their jobs but some employees offer a severance package.
- For case: any employee can terminate if he violates the company policy, rules and regulations or behave such a manner which jeopardies the co-workers or the company.
- Poor performance: if any employee performing very badly, the company can terminate him or her from the position.
However, it has been identified recently that workforce turnover is increasing and staff motivation levels in general are going down due to issues arising from communication gaps within the organization, especially in various overseas branches. So, it can be shown as above facts as reasons for cessation of employment.

DeleteIn this environment, the employer has to prove that the firing was based on specific behavior and not antipathy toward a group or class of people. Legally, this is described as firing “for cause.” In general, there are a half-dozen categories of acceptable reasons for termination.
ReplyDeleteAgree with U 😊
DeleteVoluntary termination can also occur for less positive reasons. The employee doesn't get along with her boss. She sees no opportunity to continue growth and progress in her current company. The job responsibilities in her current job changed and now, she is no longer doing something that she loves every day.
ReplyDeleteYesss yesss ☺
DeleteThere are many reasons that companies fire employees. But for most employees, companies don't need a reason. Unless you are covered by a bargaining agreement or employment contract, you're likely an at-will employee. Employment at will means that an employee can be terminated at any time without any reason and without notice.
ReplyDeleteAlmost all U.S. employees are at-will employees. This vast majority of American employees can be fired for almost any reason, so long as it isn't discriminatory. ... However, if you suspect that you were fired based on discrimination or retaliation, you may be able to sue for wrongful termination.
DeleteIn this condition, the business needs to demonstrate that the terminating depended on explicit conduct and not hostility toward a gathering or class of individuals. Legitimately, this is depicted as terminating "for cause." by and large, there are about six classifications of satisfactory explanations behind end.

This is when your employer will fire you for an illegal reason but will claim they fired you under the guise or pretext of a different reason. ... You sue them for wrongful termination, and they claim they fired you because you were late to work.

DeleteIn many cases, unless there is a contract or bargaining agreement, employees are considered covered under employment at will, which means your employer doesn't need a reason to fire you.

DeleteAlthough, employee turnover is big problem in private sector, it is not a big problem in public sector. Because, people think, job security is higher in public sector than private sector and pay effort to get jobs from public sector even without considering about the other benefits that given from the private sector. I think, that should be changed in future to development of the country
