Answer to Question 1
Showing favoritism to employees or suppliers and sharing privileged financial information to a manager's peer in another food service operation are examples of potentially unethical actions.
Answer to Question 2
Voluntary termination occurs when an employee decides to leave for personal reasons. Involuntary termination occurs when managers terminate an employee for one or more of several reasons. One reason is that the employee commits a terminable act that causes immediate termination. Examples include disruptive or destructive behavior, harassment, and theft. Other reasons for involuntary terminations include lack of work or funding, unsatisfactory performance, or violation of a company policy. Employees should be given opportunities to improve through the establishment's progressive discipline program.
Several steps should be used to terminate employees. The cause for termination must be identified, and proper documentation must be completed. Necessary approvals for termination must be obtained and termination package documents compiled. The termination meeting is followed by activities to ensure that the employee surrenders company property or receives personal property. The final steps involve making adjustments to security as necessary and reviewing operational procedures involved in the cause for termination. Employees should complete an exit interview to help managers learn more about any concerns, reasons for leaving, and suggestions about how the company can improve.
