How to Fire Someone

 

  1. Inform the human resources team.
  2. Set up a meeting with the employee.
  3. Lead with the bad news.
  4. Reference previous performance goals.
  5. Keep your explanation short but specific.
  6. Listen and repeat your decision.
  7. Provide continued healthcare paperwork and related next steps.
  8. Thank the employee for their services and wish them luck.

1. Inform the human resources team.

Having made the decision to let someone go, review the employee handbook first. Make sure your grounds for termination are in line with company policy and that you're ready to inform the right people beforehand.

Usually, the first people you notify of a firing are human resources (HR) and legal. Both teams will explain how to terminate the employee, and inform IT and security so they can disconnect the employee's office equipment after they leave. Work with HR to calculate final compensation and/or severance, and collect all documentation and paperwork you'll need for the employee's departure (we'll go over paperwork in Step 7).

Don't have the termination conversation alone. Ideally include a colleague from HR or one of your peers as a witness during the termination.
