#HR #Unemployment #Termination #HRIS #HelpNeeded
Hey there! 🌟 So, I’m in a bit of a pickle at work and could really use some advice from my fellow HR professionals. 😅
Basically, my manager is out on vacation and I’m left to handle two companies all on my own. My anxiety is through the roof because I need to send out termination letters for two employees who quit this week. I usually don’t handle this on my own and I’m worried about making a mistake.
Here’s where I need your help:
– Is it okay to wait until my manager gets back on Monday to send out the unemployment notices?
– Should I just go ahead and do it now even though I’m not 100% confident?
– Any tips on how to make sure I’m saying the right things in those termination letters?
I’m open to any suggestions and advice you guys might have. Thanks in advance for your help! 🙏🏼
What state are you located?
You could look at other employee files that were termed for similar reasons and use those term letters as a template.
Check to see if there’s are any stored templates used in the past, also as another poster said check your termed files to look up the language used for the terminations.
You could go ahead and do the termination/unemployment notices if you find the paperwork used previously but wait until your manager gives approval or if you don’t feel comfortable send your boss an email and let them know that you’re not familiar enough with the process and ask if this is something that you can work on together upon return so you can gain that experience.
I would suggest that propose to your manager that you make the termination notices and submit them to your manager for approval. It’s really important for COBRA to process the terms quickly as well as when pay out for hours and pay period needs to happen so you are in compliance with state and federal laws.
