In a recent Cornell University study, researchers found that how the business sacked the employee was a major factor in any resulting suit. For example, you don't want to say in a department meeting, "We are looking to get some new blood in here." Then, a week later, you sack a poor performing 56-year old worker. First, if you're sacking the employee for an illegal reason (for example, because she's a Muslim) or on the account of a stupid reason (for example, she started dating someone you don't like), then PLEASE DON'T put your reason down on paper. Document your meetings with the employee and document any programs he or she must attend. If the lack of attendance or tardiness continues, you may run out of warnings or remedial actions cited in the employee guidebook. HIGH RISK Dismissals - You negotiate a release before separation.
