n any workplace, despite the number of workforce, there are instances of worker misconduct. When you think the worker can possibly trip you up on a topic, prepare ahead of time for what you'll say. You can dismiss a worker after engaging in gross misbehavior just one time, but you must be sure to complete a thorough inquest proving your case before terminating the worker. You're protected by the law if you give comments you believe are true to a future employer. With this in mind, treat each termination as an individual event. Regardless of the degree of gross misconduct, you should take action with your worker.
