In California you damn well better have warning documentation in writing. With the lack of written documentation to this point I would give her one more chance. Put this instance in writing and document the history at the same time.
"#EmployeeName# you've been verbally warned #numberOfTimes# concerning #Problem#, this is your last warning. any further violations will result in your termination. signed by #Employeer# #Employee# " Hopefully this will provide at least some history in writing. Also in California I believe you have to have her final check in hand at the time of the firing. I would also have a witness at the time of the firing. Or you can just down size next week and lay her off. Ken -----Original Message----- From: C. Hatton Humphrey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 10:04 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Dropping the Axe Well, it looks like I'm going to be letting an employee go this afternoon - a "no show" after I had given her a verbal final warning a few weeks ago and simply asking for a call or email of intended absence... now here's my question - Is there anything that I have to do - legally - to fire this person? How do I actually go about telling her "you're fired"? I know that she's going to get unemployment insurance (part of those wonderful taxes I pay to NY State) and she was only working 20 hours a week or so. There is no CORBA or other benefits. I just want to make sure that I do this right. Ideas, thoughts, comments? Thanks!
