HOW TO TERMINATE AN EMPLOYEE

A number of expressions are commonly used to describe situations when employment is terminated. These include "let go," "discharged," "dismissed," "fired" and "permanently laid off."
In most cases, when an employer ends the employment of an employee who has been continuously employed, the employer must provide the employee with either written notice of termination, termination pay or a combination (as long as the notice and the number of weeks of termination pay together equal the length of notice the employee is entitled to receive).
The laws in India does not require an employer to give an employee a reason why his or her employment is being terminated.
