There are several ways to protect against liability when disciplining and firing an employee. First of which is, when you call the employee in to discuss the discipline and/or the termination, have a witness, someone who can document the experience. Two, document all of the justifications and reasons for the disciplinary or termination decision. Three, make sure that the decision to terminate and/or discipline an employee are based on legitimate job criteria, such as performance and/or violation of a company policy.
