o Your worker handbook, application, offer notifications or other worker communications say you will only separate for cause. Or, if your small business is big enough, you can transfer him and give your insubordinate individual to another supervisor. The answer to this is "NO."

Use escalating discipline to inform the employee what is wrong and how to fix it. o A separation contract you expect the employee to sign when accepting an increased discontinuance package - Typically, an employee has 3 weeks to sign-up for this package.
