What you must consider if the employee ignores your warning

The notice should carefully make clear, with evidence (Employee Problems)

How I discipline employees and terminate (when necessary)...

The notice should carefully make clear, with evidence or documentation, the events that lead up to dismissing the worker. You and the employee should sign all written documents to show the employee knew of the possible separation. To combat this sack, it's important that you make an example of a jobholder committing the theft through quick punishment. o Gross disobedience (not following an important order from supervisor). o Make clear COBRA and give notice, if available.

There are books and articles available to guide a manager through this sticky problem. This will make the dismissal much less painful, since you are showing a personal vote of confidence in the jobholder (and showing the dismissal is on the account of financial issues rather than productivity). You can also question the worker about why he or she needs to be misbehaving to your instruction. This meant you could lay off an disgruntled employee easily. Such workforce leave the manager or small business owner only two choices-rehabilitate or extricate. This will send a message to your other workers that you won't tolerate behavior outside firm guidelines. Now you may not offer a severance package or continued benefits for all fired workers. Since this is just a sample layoff notification, you must change it for the business circumstances. Likely the stories from the accuser and the accused personnel will differ. The law also protects him when he blows the whistle on suspected improper or unethical conduct by the business.
