2. various way of separation
-Resignation - Employee leaves his job and employment with his employer to pursue better opportunities. in resignation, the employee will file a resignation letter to their boss and the employer may provide additional benefits other than those mandated by state like overtime or vacation.

may be in the form of an lump-sum payment. termination benefit may arise from lay-off of termination in pension plans.

Resignation
When an employee tenders a resignation or simply quits her job, it's usually called a resignation. Some employers differentiate involuntary termination from voluntary termination, however. An employee who decides to leave the company is said to have terminated her employment and if further distinction is required, a resignation is considered voluntary termination.
Retirement
Separated employees include employees who retire. Employee separation, in some instances, is a relatively neutral way to describe the end of the employment relationship. Separation can occur when the employee doesn't necessarily want to leave, but does so anyway for reasons other than leaving the company for a better opportunity or embarking upon a new career path. Employee separation is a phrase also used to describe the end of the employment relationship due to death.
Discharge
The term "discharge" is often used to describe an employee who is fired or terminated involuntarily. It's common to hear this term used in a union work environment, as in the "the employee was discharged for just cause." The terms "discharge" and "just cause" are indicative of employment terms and conditions pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement or an employment contract. Involuntary termination refers to severing the employment relationship due to poor performance, violation of workplace policies, misconduct, absenteeism or other similar reasons.
Layoff
Employee termination and employee separation are both appropriate ways to describe when an employee layoff occurs. Where there is an indefinite layoff, such as business closure, the termination process is more likely to be called a separation because there exists a slim possibility employees may be called back.
They differ on nature and on the depth of the case.

In case of termination due to the installation of labor-saving devices or redundancy, the worker affected thereby shall be entitled to a separation pay equivalent to at least his one (1) month pay or to at least one (1) month pay for every year of service, whichever is higher. In case of retrenchment to prevent losses and in cases of closures or cessation of operations of establishment or undertaking not due to serious business losses or financial reverses, the separation pay shall be equivalent to one (1) month pay or at least one-half (1/2) month pay for every year of service, whichever is higher. A fraction of at least six (6) months shall be considered one (1) whole year.

TumugonBurahin2.There are ways of separation from employment, the employer may terminate the employee if he/she has committed a misconduct or disobedience or an unlawful act, frequent absence in the work and committing a crime that is connected to the company/ employer. Second is by resignation, an employee may resign on his own will but with the consent of the employer, the process of their separation must be done in a legal manner.
Lastly there are instances of the employee getting sick, so he/she is required to retire early or be terminated, but the company must provide him a pay from his salary at least half of the pay of every month he/she has worked in the company/employer according to the labor code of the Philippines. The difference among them is the situations that may occur under the employer/employee acts.
