In an ideal world, every employee would be a perfect, productive fit – and you’d never have to let someone go for missing the mark or violating the rules. But we all know that’s not realistic. No matter how careful you are when hiring and growing your workforce, you’re bound to encounter difficult situations that ultimately lead to termination.
Today, it’s more important than ever to be on firm legal footing when firing employees or taking other disciplinary action. A sloppy or unfair termination could put you at significant risk if a disgruntled employee turns around and files a lawsuit.
Whether jotting notes during a counseling session, preparing a written warning, or composing a final termination notice, understand that thorough documentation works in your favor if it’s done right (or works against you, if not).
