Add a Termination Type in HRM

Define termination categories to support structured offboarding, legal clarity, and HR reporting — adaptable to permanent, temporary, and contract roles.

🔐 Access Control

• Only Admin users or staff with HRM setup permissions can add or edit termination types
• From the Dashboard, use the side menu to navigate: HRM → System Setup → Termination Type

🧭 Step-by-Step: Add a Termination Type

1️⃣ Open Termination Type Setup

• Navigate to the Termination Type section under System Setup
• Click the ➕ icon to open the “Create Termination Type” form

2️⃣ Enter Termination Details

• Name*: Enter the termination category — universal examples include:
  • Voluntary Termination — resignation, retirement, career change
  • Involuntary Termination — dismissal, redundancy, performance-related
  • End of Contract — fixed-term or temporary role completion
  • Mutual Agreement, Probation Non-Confirmation, Layoff
  • Wrongful Termination — for legal tracking or dispute documentation

Use names that reflect your actual offboarding scenarios and HR documentation needs.

3️⃣ Save the Termination Type

  • 🗑️ Delete

✅ Best Practices

• Align termination types with employment contracts and local labour laws
• Use clear, neutral language for legal defensibility and reporting clarity
• Add all relevant types before processing employee exits
• Review termination types annually to reflect policy changes or legal updates
• Avoid vague names like Other — be specific for audit and HR traceability
