To fire someone is hr responsibility? Or first higher management should tell him about resignation?

Respected Sir,

It has come to my notice that in some companies, managers believe that reducing or firing someone is solely the responsibility of HR. However, in my opinion, the higher management should first inform the employee about resignation, following which the individual should be directed to the HR department to settle any outstanding dues and complete necessary paperwork. Do you agree with my perspective?

Yes, you are correct. But that shall not always be the case. In a factory scenario, the HR manager also has to play a crucial role in the company's production by bringing discipline among factory employees.

Hi,

The role of HR is to plan, direct, and coordinate the administrative functions of an organization, which includes recruiting, screening, interviewing, and placing workers. HR also handles employee relations, payroll, benefits, training, and the exit process.

During the exit process, the intervention and support of HR are very important to ensure a smooth separation. When the separation is due to work errors or insubordination, the technical/production manager has to support by providing the necessary evidence and can be part of the exit process to offer moral support to HR.

Hi,

I believe HR should not be directly involved in the termination of any employee. HR can intervene in special cases, such as misconduct or behavior that is not suitable for the organizational culture.
