How To Save Your Job

One of the terrors a dedicated employee might receive during their career is being handed their termination slip, dubbed by many as the "Pink Slip of Doom" which signifies that their business relationship with the boos is now over. Most employees go into a state of shock, wonder what to do now that they have lost their job, when the first thing that they should be asking themselves is what they did wrong to deserve this. This happens quite a lot.

The latter question is correct. The employee should not impulsively take up his or her belongings, pack and leave. The real question should be what could they have done in order to have been handed the pink slip, and then try to review everything they've been doing that could have led up to this moment in time. Take the company handbook, try to remember what you've been doing in the past few days, and if there was nothing wrong with what you've done, SEE if your termination was legal.

The employee should first check with the rules and regulations of the handbook and see if there is anything at all regarding termination without being served a pre-notice. The handbook is your shield against injustice and is useful in determining whether the termination was served legally or not. Should there have been a notification of some sort? In example, if it was found out that there was none, when there should've been, the employee has the right to ask the employer to revoke the slip and give more time on it. This can give you the allowance needed to extend your time.

If in any case that the termination was done correctly, a chance might be all you need to prevent yourself from completely getting fired. Asking the employer a few more days or a pay period while you look for a new job can help prove your worth and prevent the employer from letting you go.

The time you spend working and the pay you can earn during this time can help you on your search for a new job. This can also be a wise choice to do while waiting for the higher authorities to consider your case.
