Famed "hachet man" shows his exact steps in an employee termination...
Termination of an employee can be a hardship for any company if
the manager or business owner doesn't conduct it properly.
Obviously, some fired employees get hostile at their termination
and will try to find legal ways to dispute your cause. This is why
you must protect yourself when firing an employee.
What to know when performing a termination
Employees are terminated
for many reasons. Whether it is because of a company downturn or
bad behavior, you need to know the right
steps to take before you even consider letting go the employee.
The proper way to fire an employee is for behavioral problems such
as bad performance, tardiness or missing work. Termination is so
much easier and smoothly when you have some much-needed facts that
can help you with delivery of the reprimand letter all the way through
terminating the employee.
When you have information that can guide you through the procedure,
pointing out correct ways to reprimand and correct termination procedures,
this will help in protecting your business.
Small Business owners know how overwhelming a problem employee can
become. Keeping an employee around because they make promises and
show improvement for a short time before problems resume is just
prolonging the bad work environment and stress and strain on you
and the other employees in the workplace.
Many employers just don't know how to handle a problem, which will
cause future problems with other employees when they see what they
can get away with. Therefore, you must discipline and probably go
to termination when an employee becomes a behavior problem.
Here's what's important.
When you must fire an employee, you want to be fully aware of your
rights and the rights of an employee.
You as a business owner and manager want to be in total control
of the termination. The more information you have at your disposal
will guide you through the necessary steps that need to make this
a smooth and easy procedure for you (and much easier on the employee
as well.)

a termination is often a kindness for the fired employee
