Hello Seniors,
I need advice. We have currently terminated one of our employees due to certain reasons. We have emailed him a termination letter. However, after 2 days of receiving the termination letter, he is now submitting his resignation letter. Seniors, please advise if we should reply to his email indicating that he has already been terminated.
Thanks & Regards, Priya Sarmah

Hello Priya,
Please check the separation policy for your organization. Normally, if an employee is terminated, it means they are separated from the organization, and therefore, resignation will not be considered valid.

Hi,
On what grounds was he terminated? Look, if he was asked to leave the organization, there is no way he can submit his resignation or his letter stands nowhere. Don't worry, just tell him that the organization had already terminated him. But you need to check your termination policy because many organizations, when terminating, have to pay 1 or 2 months' salary. If he was terminated for misconduct or misbehavior, then there is no way he can submit his resignation.

Dear Priya,
In my workplace, when I had to handle termination cases, I opted to give them an option. If they were ready to submit their resignation, we were okay with it. But while going for the discussion itself, I carried the termination letter as well as a blank paper if the person wanted to resign. I do this just thinking about their career.
I would say you should have thought about this before sending the mail. Now, also discuss with your boss and if the organization is okay, accept the resignation and relieve the person.
Rest, you can decide!
