The New York State Employee Termination Kit

Watch the video to learn more about our New York State Employee Termination Kit, which is now being used by over 1,000 employers in New York State to help make their termination process more efficient and effective.

Most states are “at-will”, meaning an employer or employee can terminate the employment relationship at any time for any reason, so long as it’s not discriminatory. Terminations are never easy, but this guide gives general guidance on the best way to conduct a termination to make it as painless for you and the terminated employee as possible.

You're stopping wages. You're terminating health coverage. You need an official termination letter. Possibly a severance agreement. During periods of transition, you need to have all your bases covered. Our Employee Termination Kit has all the forms you need.

Within 5 days of actual termination, employees must be notified in writing of the exact date of termination as well as the exact date of cancellation of benefits due to termination of employment.

Actually delivering the news is one of the - if not the - most difficult aspects of terminating an employee. In these moments it's important you say the things you need to say, refrain from saying anything that doesn't need to be said, and conduct the entire process "by the book."

The termination meeting checklist will come in handy for not only helping your prepare for the termination meeting, but while you're conducting it as well.
