When it goes into effect, we'll pay your extra severance benefits according to this memorandum. Certainly, the fired employee will claim your "real" reason for dismissing her was an improper one.

To remain certified, the employee must show some minimum amount of activity, such as contacting 3 or 4 potential employers every 2 weeks. None of these "experts" told you how to evaluate the employer's risk in the layoff. This leads to the next item you should include in your layoff letter, the facts. This bill gives the fired worker time to secure replacement insurance through another employer or a personal plan. Some of these terms should include the use of drugs or alcohol on-the-job, misbehavior of a supervisor or business owner, failure show up to work or physical, verbal or mental abuse of another worker.

For example, when the worker is always late to work, you give him flextime or telecommuting privileges.
