Keep in mind that just because you have (How To Terminate Employees)

Dealing with difficult employees? Here's the next thing to consider

Keep in mind that just because you have a jobholder who falls under one of these groups, this does not mean you can't lay off this employee. If this is medium-risk dismissal, you'll normally negotiate a larger severance to make the fired worker go away quietly. Also, every audience is expecting you to be fair and reasonable with the difficult individual. Give the date by which the jobholder should sign the separation document and tell the employee you encourage him to have a legal counselor review it. Instead, you negotiate the firing and the worker resigns. Terminating someone is one of the trickiest jobs you'll do as a small business owner or a Human resources Supervisor. Any aggressive, physical violence toward a superior is unquestionably insubordination. If you don't know your risk, you should go back to Chapter 4 and follow the procedure for risk determination before continuing here. The longer a disgruntled individual continues to make problems, the worse the workplace environment will become.

And, your layoff memorandum will be a key document since it should make clear the specific reason for the lay off. After you have created your layoff notifications, call a meeting with all of your workforce and let them know about the lay off. As you might imagine, you must dismiss MANY employees when you're a turnaround consultant. Also, you might find your difficult individual is a better fit for another job within your company. For example, address the letter to the employee, not the employer of the department or the personnel manager. However, during business hours, company desires and your job come first.
