Your negotiation partner will either be the employee's legal counsellor or the employee directly. Only then can you dismiss bad employees while minimizing the effects on your business. Your tone in a oral notice should be "helpful" not "threatening." For example, you must say, "With these corrective actions, I'm sure your performance will upgrade." This is better than, "If you don't make these corrections in your behavior, you'll force me to evaluate your 'fit' with the company.". Therefore, you must be keenly aware of how insubordination and dismissing are connected - namely how to go about separating a jobholder who is misbehaving. When writing about the reason for the worker's termination, include specific details and examples of incidents which have led to this termination; see more about this in the next section. You can lay off the employee when you're done with the preparation process. You should amend the severance agreement with any changes and get it back to the jobholder immediately for his signature. You can use these rules to serve as your model for any separation settlement.
