Office Gossip - If the insubordinate worker is negligent, for example,
If the insubordinate worker is negligent, for example, he or she may not appropriately follow safety procedures. Even if you have been a small company owner or in the Personnel department for years, you should consult your firing workers manual when beginning remedial procedures. But if you're a small company owner, this may be a bit more difficult to do. Also the worker may choose to quit the job at any time as well.

After all, a worker that is insubordinate is one that believes he or she can make and live by her or his own rules. Do not share the specifics of the feedback received, or point fingers at other workers due to the information collected on the exit interview form. It is important to remember a court can use this notification as legal proof in the future, so it is important to draft a copy and have someone else in the personnel organization review it.

As a rule of thumb, if the layoff or firing was for some reason other than willful misbehavior, the employee will be eligible.
