Despite your best efforts as a manager, you will encounter situations in which it is necessary to terminate an individual’s employment.  Whether due to a position elimination, chronically poor performance or inappropriate behavior, this is never easy. 

The following tips are meant as a guide to help you with the termination process; since every situation is different, it is recommended that you consult an HR professional before communicating a termination decision. 

XcelHR works extensively with several key vertical markets: insurance agents, manufacturers, retail, restaurants, associations, CPA's and more. We use our in-depth knowledge of these business types to tailor solutions that meet the issues they commonly face.

Benefits and incentives play a very important role in every professional’s life. They boost employees’ security, as well as their confidence of maintaining a  consistent lifestyle even after retirement. In order to be considered an attractive place to work, every company must systematically plan and arrange their benefits at the right time to ensure availability to each of their employees. Many companies opt to outsource their benefits administration to third party partners in order to be cost-efficient while offering exceptional benefit plans.

While screening procedures are often costly and time consuming, most companies would agree that the benefits of checking candidates’ backgrounds far outweigh the costs.

Employers Beware! 
A large number of applicants make false claims. As human resource professionals, we have seen fake resumes, fake references, fake degrees you name it! Criminal record checks, prior employment verifications, education verifications, license verifications and other research tools are invaluable to help uncover falsifications. These employment background check tools help employers develop a more accurate and complete picture of an applicant and can reveal potential discipline problems.

As of January 31, 2012, most private sector employers are required to post a notice advising employees of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act.
