Welcome to Effective Termination Decisions. Once you have completed the online material and participated in the workshop you will be able to articulate practices to do with employment decisions including whether staff should be terminated or not.

In this module you will read a series of real-life on-farm situations and consider the following questions while you read:
1. Does the behaviour warrant instant dismissal?
2. Does the behaviour breach farm policy?
3. Is further training an option to correct the behaviour?
4. Has the employer and their onboarding approach failed in this situation?
5. Would you issue a written warning? What would it say?
6. Should the police be called?

In the workshop, you will discuss some or all these situations and questions. You might also bring some real-life experiences to the workshop and share those with your colleagues.

Before reading the scenarios it’s a great idea to become familiar with the Fair Work conditions for Notice and Final Pay. This information might impact some of your responses to the scenarios and help you shape decisions and actions that abide by the law.
