o Do you have the jobholder's file including all your documentation? Similarly you must immediately deal with other problems like insubordination, trouble with coworkers or any behaviors that violate business policy. When you have gathered proper documentation and have decided to separate an employee, you first need to form an employee termination notice. o The higher the lay off risk, the higher the cost (time, money and emotion) for you and the company. This will keep you out of trouble even if later substantiation or the jobholder's legal counsellor proves your conclusions wrong afterwards. Would you want to be told you were losing your job in front of your coworkers? o The layoff was for the violation and not for an wrongful reason. Management expects employees to produce quality work in a timely manner. Therefore, you must watch for a jobholder that has difficulty concentrating or following directions, as this employee may develop into a major problem for you and your company.

When managing insubordinate employees, you should remember that often these individuals are more likely to file a unlawful lay off law suit. o Lastly, even if you have found no wrongdoing, you still should be ready for the employee to resign. Mostly this employee thinks she has an "in" with your boss, and your manager will stop this termination as soon as he hears about it. When appealing a fired worker's unemployment claim, you should have papers. Unfortunately, there will always be some workforce who simply have a bad attitude about work. When the manager has no evidence and gives no legitimate reason for separating, the courts typically favor the jobholder. You must ask the employee to sign any written notices especially those stating that their job is in jeopardy.
