If a worker has often failed to perform on schedule, you have likely provided warning letters or counseling sessions which you have recorded. If the contract states the employee's problems warrant layoff, then you need to carefully craft a termination memorandum to highlight this portion of the contract. A worker written notification is nothing more than a note to the worker to let her or him know that job performance has been unsatisfactory. One of the most trying parts about being a proprietor or Human resources boss is dealing with problem employees. If it becomes a public matter or if the offending photo contains anything that identifies your company, you're probably in the clear as well. For those Human resources offices dealing with several employees, they should create preset standards for certain actions.

He improves his terrible performance or behavior long enough to get through the warning period and then "backslides" 3 months later to his old ways. First if you are in a business with a probationary period for new workforce then your life is easier.
