You'll look like an idiot, the jobholder will be angry, her attorney will have a field day and the jury will give the worker a big unlawful layoff award. While firing a jobholder is always difficult, it is a necessary part of any manager's job. Mostly, the worker can't sue for more than her back wages from the time of her separation to the rehire offer. o Refusing to commit an unlawful act at the employer's request. To minimize your risk of a unlawful dismissal suit, please check with a legal counselor before using this notice or any sample layoff notice for that matter. She knows she has done a good job, and she'll be angry you're sacking her for her personality. o Refusing to falsify company records, tax returns, or reports to government agencies. You hear from her attorney-at-law you fired her because she refused to sleep with the manager.

o Household and domestic help (now and then). o Not performing as well as others in similar jobs. Or, if you can't lay off for political reasons or the potential cost is too high, find an alternative to dismissal you can live with. The ex-worker could sue you for defamation. This leads to the jobholder feeling you didn't give him his "due." In such cases, suspend the worker for 3 days with pay to let everyone's emotions cool off, carry out a fair inquest and prepare a proper layoff. You can draft a sample job termination memorandum to use as a guide for writing all future documents. The workers holding these positions are terminated.
