For example, you can't lay off a worker for: In this case you won't have much trouble telling the jobholder that you're letting them go. By taking the time to personally get involved in the mechanics of the environment, you can weed out the bad disposition and foster growth of positive criticism. For example, suppose you terminate someone for theft after a proper inquest and review of the proof. Keep any suspicion of worker theft to yourself or confide in upper management. If the productivity problem or misconduct is minor, handle the problem informally with the jobholder, possibly over lunch or in a one-to-one meeting.

It becomes the small company's evidence if the jobholder files a improper lay off legal action, so treat it with care. The worker may not take these warnings seriously or simply just can't do the job. It's important you don't fire someone for an improper reason. Because the standard layoff approach was so flawed, I developed the firing Risk Estimate & Protection System(tm) (TREPS). For example, the fired worker may return the company's property she has at home. Conducting reformatory meetings with the jobholder. In TREPS, you evaluate your termination risk through 2 simple tests. For some dismissals, you have the legal right to terminate immediately. Although this is an important factor, it's more important for you to know how to layoff appropriately. Here it is a good idea to have a representative from personnel to assist you.
