Generally, an employee who is fired is angry, unhappy, and looking for someone to blame when his or her employment ends. The employee must face questions and concerns from family members and friends, who may never have been informed that the employee was experiencing performance problems and performance coaching at work.
From an employer's perspective, avoid wrongful termination concerns by demonstrating that you treat all employees fairly and with dignity and respect, even in an employment termination situation.
You can avoid the possibility of employment termination legal problems by following the guidelines and steps in legal, ethical employment termination. The time you invest in firing an employee appropriately, with kindness, civility, and compassion, will pay you back indefinitely.
