Processing Employee Terminations
Project Directors must contact People Engagement and Learning immediately regarding any situation that might result in a recommendation to terminate an employee.
Most employees are terminated as a result of:
- Loss of funding.
- Completion of Project work or a temporary assignment.
- Closing of the Project.
MakeWay also reserves the right to terminate employees due to the financial instability of a Project.
Any recommendation to terminate an employee, whether with or without cause, must be consistent with MakeWay's values and policies and compliant with prevailing employment standards to avert the substantial financial risk that wrongful termination claims can pose.
As the employer of all Project employees, MakeWay must ensure that:
- All employees are treated fairly.
- Appropriate work standards are maintained.
- The reputation of MakeWay and the Project as desirable places to work are maintained.
