How to Terminate Someone

No one likes to get fired; likewise, no one like likes to be the one to fire someone else. So, if you're the boss, how do you fire someone who has been subpar?

Step 1) Require monthly reviews of a person's progress. Ensure that the monthly review of someone's progress is done by a manager and not a colleague for obvious reasons. In that monthly review, do the following protocol: Employees Name, Date of hire, Position, Rate of Pay, Leaderships capabilities (on a scale of 1 to 10), administrative capabilities (on a scale of 1 to 10), managerial capabilities (on a scale of 1 to 10), and overall performance (on a scale of 1 to 10). Do this monthly review every month.

Step 2) If after 3 months the employee is consistently being rated at a scale of 5 on the 1 to 10 overall performance, bring them into your office along with an immediate manager. Tell them their scrores via category, and tell them things need to shape up or else.

Step 3) If after 6 months of employment their overall performance has not improved, bring them into your office with their immediate manager and expalin to them the situation. Explain to them in a very logical way, recalling to their memory the last--3 months ago--when you met in your office. Then let them go. Tell them you will give them fair recommendations, which you will. This is the fairest way to terminate an employee.
