First, the manager should coach the employee when the misbehavior occurs. Either offer the worker his job back or give him a settlement in return for his assurance he won't take suit.

And it allows employers to hire as well as layoff workforce for any reason - at least as long as you're not violating any other laws in doing so. If the policy has no such clause then you can go ahead and use the employee termination notice. As the owner of a small business or as the Human resources Manager, you must realize it is important to have all your workforce abide by the same rules - which are the rules established by the company policies and procedures. Even when the action becomes necessary through no fault of the employee, both the decision making process and the act of dismissing are not pleasant duties.
