Employment Termination

Termination of employment is an inevitable part of personnel activity within any organization, and many of the reasons for termination are routine. Below are examples of some of the most common circumstances under which employment is terminated:

* Resignation - voluntary employment termination initiated by an employee.

* Discharge - involuntary employment termination initiated by the organization.

PMG will generally schedule exit interviews at the time of employment termination. The exit interview will afford an opportunity to discuss such issues as employee benefits, repayment of outstanding debts to PMG, or return of PMG-owned property. Suggestions, complaints, and questions can also be voiced.

Since employment with PMG is based on mutual consent, both the employee and PMG have the right to terminate employment at will, with or without cause, at any time. Although advance notice is not required, PMG requests at least 4 weeks written notice of resignation from nonexempt employees and 2 weeks notice from exempt employees.

All accrued, vested benefits that are due and payable at termination will be paid. Some benefits may be continued at the employee's expense if the employee so chooses. The employee will be notified in writing of the benefits that may be continued and of the terms, conditions, and limitations of such continuance.

PMG does have a no-rehire policy on most circumstances.
