13. Ending the employment relationship
From: Human Rights at Work 2008 - Third Edition
There are many instances when it will be appropriate and non-discriminatory for an employment relationship to end, whether through termination, layoffs, surplus decisions, early retirement or an employee’s resignation.

This consideration applies even if employees are dismissed during a probationary period or are not retained at the end of a probationary period.
