PrepAway - Latest Free Exam Questions & Answers

A.
The details of employee have been removed from active payroll files.

B.
Company property provided to the employee has been returned.

C.
User ID and passwords of the employee have been deleted.

D.
The appropriate company staff is notified about the termination.

Explanation:
Because terminations can happen for a variety of reasons, and terminated people have different reactions,
companies should have a specific set of procedures to follow with every termination. For example:
The employee must leave the facility immediately under the supervision of a manager or security guard.
The employee must surrender any identification badges or keys, complete an exit interview, and return
company supplies.
That user’s accounts and passwords should be disabled or changed immediately.It seems harsh and cold when this actually takes place, but too many companies have been hurt by vengeful
employees who have lashed out at the company when their positions were revoked for one reason or another.
If an employee is disgruntled in any way, or the termination is unfriendly, that employee’s accounts should be
disabled right away, and all passwords on all systems changed.
To ensure that the termination procedures are carried out properly, you need to ensure that the appropriate
people (the people who will carry out the procedures) are notified about the termination.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Removing the details of the employee from active payroll files is not the MOST important aspect relating to
employee termination.
B: Ensuring company property provided to the employee has been returned should be part of the termination
procedure. However, this is not the MOST important aspect relating to employee termination; company security
is more important.
C: The user ID and passwords of the employee should be disabled, not deleted. Furthermore, notifying the
appropriate staff of the termination will ensure the accounts get disabled.
