Should HR be involved in every termination decision?

My perspective - Yes - to ensure consistency and reduce unnecessary risk.

Assuming your organization is large enough to support a HR professional then all onboarding through termination are HR’s responsibility. Terminations can expose the organization to wrongful termination exposure, financial penalties, and legal challenges. Your HR professional can help indemnify the organization against litigation by insuring FMLA and other legal protections are properly afforded. Those are a few thoughts to spur you forward.

Yes HR should, they should absolutely be involved in reviewing every involuntary termination before it happens.

Yes, but ideally they were involved long before that decision needs to be made.

I agree. I have seen situations improve when HR is involved early. Consistency and risk management are hard to maintain otherwise.

Hi all!
Would love some insight on how you went from an HR assistant/coordinator to an HR Generalist. I’ve been in the HR world for 8 years, and only in the last 2-3 have I really done real HR work. The first company I was at didn’t have a solid HR team so I don’t really count that. I feel like I’m ready to take on more responsibility and learn more. And of course make more money.
