Can HR fire you?

Can HR fire you?

The simple answer is, yes! Companies have been known to use human resource personnel to conduct terminations. Generally, most companies use a combination of a manager and a human resource employee to conduct the termination. One or both persons act as a witness in case the employee being terminated makes a damaging statement or otherwise violates company rules during the termination process.

Understanding Terminations in Connecticut Workplaces

In Connecticut workplaces, human resources staff often play a central role in employee terminations. While some employees believe only managers can end employment, HR can also be directly involved. Employers rely on HR to follow labor and employment law, ensure documentation, and reduce the risk of litigation. Employees should understand their rights before and after termination, especially when discrimination, retaliation, or wrongful termination may be involved.
