London?s Traditional Black Cabs Face a Sleek New Rival on the Streets (Embezzlement)

See how easily you can discipline a bad employee ... and fire if needed. Form and sample letters.


The new cabs are a bigger and, according to the manufacturer, a less polluting alternative to the tourist symbol that traces its roots to 1919.


And it allows employers to hire as well as sack personnel for any reason - at least as long as you're not violating any other laws in doing so. First, your other personnel may believe you are discriminating against them when you come down on them and do not come down on the insubordinate employee. Once you identify a problem employee, your first step is to counsel the problem employee. As you can see, the bad worker gets 3 chances to upgrade before you sack her.

If your rules are legally sound, you can fire workers on the spot for employment gross misconduct. In summary, we're offering you extra severance benefits in return for your agreement to waive claims about your employment against [The company] and its representatives. Include the impact the jobholder's behavior had on the firm or department. Employers don't know their rights, and many don't know what to tell a laid off employee when he asks about unemployment. Finding a reason to terminate the employee is the easy part, but you should be careful how you do it. If the supervisor's behavior remains bad or she fails again, use this Guidebook to make sure you thoroughly document her lack of performance. In fact, a restaurant across town which your personnel don't frequent would be ideal. As well, there should be a place on the form for the jobholder to sign that they agreed to the warning and to future actions that will be taken. If the jobholder carries out your instruction then that is the end of it. As we've discussed, the exit interview is the employee's opportunity to vent. This is why you need to be sure of your reasons to sack the worker.
