Definition
解聘 is a separable verb (离合词) meaning 'to dismiss or fire an employee' in formal workplace contexts. Like other 离+合 verbs, the two syllables can separate when inserting a measure word or complement — e.g., 解过两次聘 ('dismissed someone twice'). It carries a more official tone than 开除, often used in HR or legal scenarios.
