How to properly sack someone - Globe and Mail article

The Globe and Mail sought the advice of Vancouver-based Clear HR Consulting for an article on how to properly sack someone. Cissy Pau, principal consultant of Clear HR Consulting, provided the Globe and Mail with human resources expertise on the ins and outs of how to properly fire employees.

Some of the tips that Clear HR Consulting shared were:

Have the meeting in a private place;
Ensure that all the paperwork is ready in advance of the meeting;
Conduct the meeting when few other staff are around;
Explain the decision, but don’t debate the matter – the decision is final; and
Don’t schedule the meeting for a Friday, so if the employee has questions, they can get them answered promptly.
