Types of Employment Termination
When an employee is terminated, he no longer has a job with his current employer. The reasons for termination could be because of poor productivity, or the company may be facing financial hardship and have to lay employees off. When employees are fired, they may have the option of being rehired at a later date, of course, at the digression of the employer.

Voluntary Termination
-
Voluntary termination is when the employee decides to leave the job on his own will. The employee will submit a resignation or give some type of notice detailing the date he will be leaving the job. Some employees give a reason for voluntarily terminating or vacating their position, but it is not required. Some reasons for voluntary termination are receiving a better job offer, staying at home to raise children, or moving away.
Involuntary Termination
-
Involuntary is when an employee's position is terminated by the employer. The employer has either laid an employee off or she has fired the employee indefinitely. Laying an employee off means the employer does not have subsequent work for her at the time, but as soon as the work becomes available, the employer will offer the employee her job back. Firing an employee is dismissal of the employee at her own fault. She has either violated some agreement of the working contract, or she has not produced effectively for the company.
-
Mutual Agreement
-
Some employers feel an employee is not productive enough, and likewise, the employee feels the job is not working out or is not of interest to him. This is considered a mutual agreement when both employer and employee feel termination is the best way to go. Depending on the type of contract, an employer may ask the employee to stay on until a replacement is found or until her contract expires.
Termination With and Without Prejudice
-
When employers fire employees, it does not always mean they can not be rehired. Some employers offer their ex-employees their jobs back at later times in the future if they didn't leave a bad impression. This is called termination without prejudice. However, if the employee left a bad impression with her employer by not completing assignments or carrying her workload, the employee may be terminated with prejudice, meaning the employer who fires the employee can refuse to hire her back.
Wrongful Termination
-
It is called wrongful termination when an employer terminates an employee on grounds of discrimination. Another example of wrongful termination would be when the employer has accused an employee of stealing company time or company property without proof. The employer will have to perform an investigation and may not terminate the employee's position until he has been proven guilty of the crime.
