Dear Rishi,
Why you wanted to terminate employee? Has he/she done any "misconduct"? If yes, then you may order domestic enquiry. In the enquiry, give chance to the employee to present his/her case. If the employee is found guilty then go ahead and award the punishment. Termination is the punishment of the highest order.

Dear Sir,
There are two ways of terminating the services of a permanent employee, one is by way of disciplinary action ie if he has indulged in some serious misconducts, then you need to issue chargesheet and conduct an enquiry wherein full opportunity is to be given to the workman to defend himself through a representative of his choice. After completion of the enquiry the copy of the findings need to be sent to the workman for his comments. Thereafter you have to scrutinise if the findings are based on the evidence led in the enquiry both oral and documentary. Then you need to check the past record of service of the workman, and if you find that termination is legal and justified under the circumstances, then you can issue a detailed dismissal letter setting out the reasons for this termination.
Secondly, if the workman is rendered surplus due to various reasons, then you need to follow the provisions of Industrial Disputes Act, and put up a category wise seniority list for display on the notice board for 8 days. Thereafter you need to follow the principle of last come first go, ie the person who joined the organisation last, will go first. You need to pay retrenchment compensation @ 15 days salary per completed year of service, one months notice pay and all other legal dues such as leave wages, earned salary , pro rata bonus, etc. at the time of effecting retrenchment. You need to put up a general notice stating reasons for the retrenchment and send the copy to the Govt. and Labour Commissioner. You then have to draft an individual notice to the workman stating reasons for the termination and attach the cheque of his legal dues and either serve upon him or send by RPAD.
