The right ways to fire someone are to create a paper trail, take care of housekeeping and know your states laws, do it in the middle of the week, have a witness, be humane and looking for the lessons. In short, you want to make sure that you will be giving your employee (ex employee) a notice, so that they will have adequate time to search for another job.
Key Takeaways:
