You'll interview witnesses and gather documents to either prove or disprove the insubordination. Second, as we discussed in Chapters 2 and 3, a fired employee will often sue you even when laid off for legitimate reasons. To do this, you will need to coin a worker dismissal memorandum that details the reason for lay off and the effective date of lay off. This gives you legal substantiation the jobholder knew why you were letting him or her go. To make an attendance separating legal, you must apply attendance standards evenly and not just against the insubordinate individual. Tell them you expect everyone to have more job responsibility and less management interference. Post-layoff Processes: There may be several different post-layoff processes that go with separating a jobholder during the business reorganization.

You did an inquest for insubordination (sexual harassment) according to the methods in Chapter 7. You must fight the claim if the employee resigns from the business. The bad worker is not necessarily a poor performer. To be on the safe side, you can have a policy that "The Company" won't give a reference unless you see a waiver releasing you from liability for defamation. What you should do after the conference call is similar to what you do after a dismissal meeting. These considerations help make the employee lay off program less painful for everyone involved. The next section of the notice should give the employee instructions on what they should do. Why is it the worst employees, the ones that you simply should dismiss, are always the ones most likely to sue you?
