Dismiss an employee for poor performance or unacceptable behavior

Tips: You may send this letter to confirm the termination after you have discussed it with the employee. Clearly state the facts and reasons for dismissal. Be honest and matter of fact, and don't try to soften the blow just to protect the employee's ego. Any statements you make may be used against you if the employee tries to challenge the decision. You need not include all the reasons for the termination, although you should keep full documentation of them on file. Do not write impolitely or with anger, because it could come back to haunt you if the employee decides to challenge your decision legally.
