How To Fire An Employee

No one likes the idea of firing an employee. But sometimes it has to happen and, just like any other managerial duty, there’s a right way and a wrong way. Here are some tips from About.com:

Don’t stray from the law. Know under which circumstances you cannot terminate, such as during jury duty or during medical leave.

Focus on the termination, not the person. This is about the duties of the position not being met—not the person.
