The employer-initiated ending of employment, distinct from resignation, following notice and documentation requirements.
Termination is the employer-initiated ending of an employment relationship — as opposed to resignation, which is employee-initiated. It follows the notice period and documentation requirements set out in the employment contract and applicable labour law.
Termination for cause (misconduct, performance) and termination without cause (redundancy, restructuring) carry different legal and procedural requirements in India, and getting the process wrong exposes an employer to real legal risk — which is why termination decisions typically involve documentation review well before the final conversation happens.
