A worker that is unwilling to change her or his work habits is likely to develop a negative disposition. During this meeting, you tell the employee more about her dismissal package and ask in return for information to improve the small business and legal positioning. I want to make my directives of you "official." Never again should you play "the devil's advocate" role in team meetings. Look at the objective comment again. If probe gives you enough substantiation to layoff the jobholder, you should also document the lay off process. This tells them you are serious about the circumstance. If he files a illegal lay off legal action, you will have a more difficult time defending your position. Lastly, sit down with the worker and discuss the dismissal notification. Follow-up on any commitments you made during the negotiations including writing a notice of recommendation (if asked for). It will probably not the be the last time you here from the terminated worker. After you give 3 warnings and the disgruntled employee fails to upgrade his attendance, you can fire him legitimately. If improvement doesn't occur, you repeat the steps until you have no choice but to lay off.

Also, to keep the jobholder's anger as low as possible, keep the tone of this letter as polite as possible while still giving a truthful layoff reason. As a Personnel supervisor or small business owner, you'll eventually have to dismiss a worker. In this case, the supervisor had the right to lay off the jobholder.
