How to Fire an Employee

If you are thinking of firing an employee, there are a few steps to follow. The first step is you want to talk to the employee that you are thinking of firing. Privately talk to him/her about things he/she needs to change in order to work at your business. Give him or her a chance to correct the problems.

The second item to take care of is to start documenting things the employee does that are reasons for termination. Some examples include: Constantly coming to work late. Make sure you document the date, time and reason if the employee gives you one. Write up the employee and have the employee sign the sheet as well as you sign the sheet. If the employee does not want to sign the sheet, that is up to the individual. As a union leader once said, “It is imperative that the employee signs the written up document to protect himself/herself. If he/she does not sign it, the employer can repeatedly fill out write ups and who is to say that the employee did or did not see it--he/she regularly did not sign it.”
