From the (Discipline Letters) Gulf, Money for Towers in London

First, the jobholder needs to take suit but you have a good chance a legal counselor won't take his case or the jury will rule in your favor.

Having a bad attitude in itself is not always a problem. If the time comes to layoff the worker, you need to make sure you plan your termination meeting ahead of time. If you're negotiating with the worker, be aware an attorney-at-law is likely coaching her behind the scenes. How to separate Employees without Sacrificing Compassion. Worker investigations before layoff should be a team effort among supervisors. Insubordination and Worker Moral are Directly Linked. At the close of the firing meeting, give the original copy of the jobholder dismissal notice to the former worker while keeping a copy for your records. When you have given multiple warnings to a worker for the same problem, it may be time for your company to cut ties with this person. As you hunt for a sample lay off memorandum for disposition, make sure the letters you choose as your base makes clear to the employee that this letter should not be a surprise. And by preparing with documentation and corroborators, you have an excellent chance of winning.

By going this route, the worker becomes able to work again without incident, and the business has helped the community.
