Create termination types and reasons

Set up the options HR chooses from when terminating an employee.

⚠️ Available with any of the following subscriptions: Standard or Professional packages

Add your termination types and most common termination reasons in advance. When you terminate an employee, you then simply pick a type and a reason from a drop-down list. This keeps termination data consistent across all employees and makes it easier to analyse why people leave.

Add a termination type

A termination type describes how the employment ended, for example:

  • Voluntary

  • Involuntary

  • End of contract

  • Mutual agreement

  1. Go to Settings → HR → Termination types.

  2. Click + Add.

  3. Enter the type name and click Save.

Add a termination reason

A termination reason describes why the employee left, for example:

  • Conflict within the team

  • Difficulty commuting to work

  • Expectations weren't met

  • Insufficient compensation

  • Lack of career growth

  • Joining another company

  • Lack of recognition

  • Moving to another country

  1. Go to Settings → HR → Termination reasons.

  2. Click + Add.

  3. Enter the reason and click Save.

💡 Tip: Keep the list short and clear. A few well-defined reasons give you more useful reports than a long list of similar ones.

Edit or delete a type or reason

  1. Open the ⋯ menu at the end of the row.

  2. Select Edit to rename it, or Delete and confirm to remove it.

Once you've added termination types and reasons, you can select them from the drop-down lists when you terminate an employee. Learn more in Terminate the employee.
