Even though your small company has a dismissal letter template, there is still room for mistakes. If this was a low-risk separation, you should offer a small increased severance in return for a release. Once you have dismissed one worker, you will realize that it isn't as hard as it seems. Probably, your employee or workforce manual gives you these standards.

They help show a pattern of problems for a quarterly review, or in the worst case scenario to support dismissing a worker.
