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

Clearly, it wants to be clear and to the point. The worker may even boast about the use of a degrading epithet towards the employer. o For minor misconduct or poor productivity, was the worker given a reasonable amount of time and number of chances to improve? Whether the infraction is on-the-job drinking or frequent misbehavior, the firm's well-being is too important to let the worker slip through the crack. This is especially true if you are firing the employee who "for cause" (intoxication on-the-job, sexual harassment, physical and verbal abuse, theft of business property, and the like). On its face, this is a simple law that should work for both the employer and the employee. Now and then it's best to throw up your hands and let someone else handle the problem. They think if they don't sign the paperwork, your evidence for terminating is invalid. You can go through the procedure of termination if it includes turning in a name badge, uniform, or other firm materials, but do not stray too far. When you go to write a specific letter, remember: this will likely not come as a surprise to the employee. The worker will, undoubtedly, claim the "real" reason for her termination was because she took personnel' comp, and she'll get a legal defender to sue you. Not being able to meet your payroll is a certifiable reason for cutbacks in the workforce.

Small company owners know how overwhelming a bad individual can become. You must sack them for firm reasons not for any fault of their own. You as a owner and manager want to be in total control of the firing. When you should fire a worker, you want to be fully aware of your rights and the rights of a worker.
