[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s my understanding that a supervisor has to sign and deliver the removal memo.  Is there any way that someone other then the supervisor can do it?  I’m the supervisor in this case and while the individual is a poor performer, I don’t want to be the individual responsible.  I’d rather provide all the documents and have someone else send the memo.[/quote]

You really need to talk to your labor/employment folks to make sure you are doing the paperwork correctly. If this employee is serving a trial or probationary period, you can fire without cause but you need to document it right. If they are a tenured employee and you are firing for performance, you have to first document poor performance and then put them on a PIP. If you are firing for misconduct you have to give notice etc. You can't just sign a piece of paper and say "see ya." Go talk to labor counsel and figure out your options. (The good news for you, maybe, is that if you do a chapter 75 removal you won't be the deciding official, just the proposing official. In case that answers your question and makes you feel better ...)[/quote]
