If you're a top level supervisor, (Sample Termination Letter) have one

You don't need an air tight case to fire someone ... but you need to know these factors.

If you're a top level supervisor, have one of your senior managers or have an employment legal counsellor review it. * A jobholder calls the manager an abusive name, either in front of other employees, or privately, and then continues to do so after you warn the jobholder about it. Make clear their problems, and the actions you want them to take. Like terrible performance, don't fire a worker right away for minor misbehavior. If you're a small business owner, a worker leaving the company can impact the business dramatically. Employee separations are stressful for both the employer and the jobholder. In short, you do not have to go through two or three counseling and remedial periods with a jobholder to separate him or her. It is critical workplace group spirit that you handle worker misbehavior properly. Probably, the jobholder will ask for an extended date, and this often is the first point of negotiation. And if the difficult individual elects to buck the system, you are better-off without her or him.

In reference to our prior meeting held on (specify the date of the meeting /meetings), I hereby state that your service with (specify the name of your small company) is laid off. And don't document when you are sacking for an illegal reason. If you make this a compulsory transfer, the worker could quit, claim constructive discharge and still sue you for unlawful layoff. A special note about personnel' compensation: You can't dismiss an employee because she has taken advantage of workforce' compensation. Don't bad-mouth and don't blame. If you didn't use categories, but instead used the infractions, the employee would only have 2 verbal warnings.
