you must not have issues with an employee before laying them off. but i prefer using the word redundancy rather than issuing a termination letter. provided the severance benefit is paid, there is no reason why the employee will not walk away peacefully |

1. If an employee is not doing well, let number of queries indicate so. 2. Three queries within a defined period equal a sack, except if management decides otherwise. Except there's a major scandal that's obvious to all, never sack anyone with a stainless record. But you can retrench workers to streamline line your business. (That involves paying compensation, it's different from outright sack) |

There are several ways u can do that without actuallt seeming very insensitive. There must be genuine reason why u are 'laying off' ur worker. Redundancy, inefficiency, bankcrupcy, insubordination, negligenc, fraud etc. Each situation determines ur best approach. Like someone said, if na 'mouth appointment, dont make mistake of writing a layoff letter, why? As it is there is nothing to back ur terms of service. Whatever u do written or unwritten apply the 'labour act' in paying severance pay. Where its on insubordination, inefficiency, negligency to duty, its always advisable to write at least two query letters and then a warning letter, by that, u hv prepared her mind she is threading on thin line. Bankcruptcy, redundancy: discuss the situation with the employee and preferablly advice her to resign.hy? There is always a stigma with termination letters. Fraud, conspiracy: express termination. However there is no smiling way to receiveing ones termination letter but do ur part by doing the fair things expected of an employer. Long sermon. Lol 1 Like |

take him/her to Mr. Biggs....there is no better place to break the news than that place, ask the staff to be fired to meet you there and send the following message via SMS "I HEREBY NOTIFY YOU THAT YOUR SERVICES ARE NO LONGER REQUIRED....AN ORDER OF PIPING HOT MEATPIE HAS BEEN PLACED AND PAID FOR TO PROVIDE SUCCOUR...TAKE CARE"....shikena |

Richy.: can we follow the footsteps of our president? He prepared the letters, gave it to the PRO to give the ministers. Then travelled so that he won't see the crying face or be attacked by their looks. Other option: buy gift for them, put the letter in a beautifully crafted invitation envelope and serve the gooood meal. They will understand it is : hard way, the only way. |

Do to others what you will want them to do to u. If u don't expect your worker to wake one morning and say to you I resign then don't wake up one morning to say your service is no longer needed. You expect your worker to inform you before hand then you should inform him or her too. |

osifred : please where can one lay hold of labour document on firing an employee? seriously most of you have neither been fired nor fired anyone. bros, its suicidal either way. nothing is more difficult as pointing a loaded gun to a worker, let alone firing the shot. |
Re: What Is The Best Way To Fire An Employee? by sheniqua: 6:23pm On Oct 23, 2013 |
jdilight: l fired my employee. Do annual or periodic performance evaluation for your employees Those not measuring up should be given written warnings and maybe placed on probationary period If at the next evaluation,they are still not performing you tell them you have to let them go Always make sure to let them know why you are firing them That valid information could help them in the next job There is no easy way of doing it. Sometimes you may also look at other alternatives rather than outright firing You can reassign people to other tasks even if it is with less money if you find them useful in other areas. You can also spend time and train them in what you want them to do depending on the nature of the job What is not right is firing someone without any warnings and sanctions and they come to work,suddenly they are fired That is wicked. Give the person a chance to do better or maybe start looking elsewhere if it seems you are not pleased with their performance Think of what you will like done to you and do same to others. The secret to business growth can depend on the way you treat your employees and the rate of turn over You are likely to succeed if you have the same crew with you long term,trained in what you want them to do I learned this from my dad,he is a businessman who has stuck with the same workers for years Some not as good as the others but loyalty in an employee also means something. 2 Likes |

4reigningqueen: wait for the employee to make mistake and simply seize the opportunity or give him or her an assignment that cant be carried out. Pure wickedness Sadly this is the way many people operate in Nigeria with no conscience And tomorrow if evil befalls you,you go to mountain of fire and be chanting off repetitions and buying olive oil to wad of evil You don't set people up that way ma It is totally wrong 1 Like |
Re: What Is The Best Way To Fire An Employee? by sheniqua: 6:38pm On Oct 23, 2013 |
Another good thing to do will be to give the person an extra pay as a severance If you fired them say on the 15th of the month,you pay them the whole month the same day you are letting them go Don't make them come back to the same job asking or begging for their pay as some heartless employers do That is just humiliating and inhumane 1 Like |
