Once you have the substantiation you need to take action, don't hesitate. This will help not only the jobholder, but also the supervisor and the workplace esprit de corps.

The lay off notice must stick to the facts. Please don't use use 'downsizing' as an excuse for terminating difficult employees, or creating a culture change in the organization by replacing old personnel with new ones. There are other alternatives in Chapter 5, but these are generally the most practical.As a final alternative, you can always lay off the high-risk worker without a release, and let the chips fall as they may.
Occasionally though, the oral notification is not enough. Making the firing Notice Employee Friendly. Inform the worker you're giving this "short-cycle" productivity review to give him a chance to improve and understand your new expectations. You can use a well written notice of separation to aid you deal with all problems, legal and otherwise that arise from separating a jobholder. The jobholder may see these actions as a warning sign of worse things to come, and rightfully so. likely more so because he'll be angry you painted him into a corner at the dismissal. Remind workers there are certain limits that can disqualify them from receiving unemployment.
