As with all workers, your dimissing disabled worker policy should also include discussing the issue with the jobholder. For example, the boss can rate the worker from a 1 to a 5 where 1 is an excellent worker and 5 is someone who wants continuous coaching and retraining. In it you should be honest about what has lead to the termination of workforce. (We cover references in detail in Chapter 13.) If you layoff for gross misconduct, your papers must prove that a direct order was issued to an employee, that they understood it and that they refused to obey it. For example, obviously make clear the rationale for lay off; whether it is a sacking for cause, a lay off, or restructuring. If you give a good reference and leave out relevant information, the new employer can sue you for damages caused by the jobholder. If for some reason, you're even just a little untruthful, be sure the jobholder's legal counselor will use it to prove wrongful discrimination or motivations. If you consistently use worker warnings with a fair policy of progressive discipline, you at least have the peace of mind that you tried your best to rehabilitate your worker.

Gross misconduct and Employee Moral are Directly Linked. Employees who receive notifications of lay off are mostly not taken by surprise, because managers have warned them that such a memorandum might be heading their way. In other words, have I ever counseled the jobholder, given a warning notification, provided enough training? It will involve with major legal ramifications from the union organization. This clearly tells the employee that if their performance does not significantly upgrade within 30 days, they will face separation. In its simplest terms, disobedience is the failure of an employee to follow a supervisor's order. Be sure to provide written documentation of what the worker returns both for the jobholder's records and the company's records.
