Be aware that a worker can claim you fired them based on age, creed, disability, national origin, religion or sex. Will the firm suspend the worker, will it dock pay, or will it separate the employee? Alternatively, you can fire them over the phone and send the supporting documentation through e-mail. Even if you have a guideline written package, using it to lay off specific workforce can get complicated. In this way, the worker will likely keep their cool and not cause a scene. And the burden is on you, the boss to prove it is not true.

A special note about workforce' compensation: You can't lay off an employee because she has taken advantage of employees' compensation. Don't present the facts as if it's the first time the jobholder has heard them. As a rule of thumb, if the layoff or sacking was for some reason other than willful misbehavior, the employee will be eligible. But more importantly, these questions force you to document conversations with the worker and other eyewitnesses. If the employee continues to be disobedient, however, you will have no choice but to carry through with disciplinary actions. If left unattended to, misconduct will quickly demoralize the other workers you supervise. First, the boss or the management should allow the worker a chance to explain her or his behavior. If you have an Hr department Manager, this person should do the review. For high risk dismissals (where the employee will sue and you'll lose), you never "officially" lay off the employee, so you don't need a memorandum. * Have all of your substantiation and corroborators ready.
