Your lay off is a result of repeated issues in the following areas. Therefore, you should watch for a jobholder that has difficulty concentrating or following directions, as this employee may develop into a major problem for you and the company. You must document the date the employee was late to work and how late they arrived.

This involves coming up with some general standards. You should also attach any applicable company policies and state or Federal policies relevant to the downsizing. Tell the worker you're giving this "short-cycle" productivity review to give him a chance to improve and understand your new directives. State directly that you're separating the jobholder and the effective date. Management can handle Disobedience or gross misconduct by giving a written warning, docking pay, removing vacation time, or simply talking with the employee.
