The worker's legal counselor will prove the small company has a loose policy, and other workforce, whom you didn't layoff, have worse track records.

Otherwise, you may dismiss the employee only to find yourself in the middle of a unlawful termination law suit. Whether the reorganization comes from series of corporate layoffs due to financial reasons, a merger or a corporate takeover, it is no less painful for the jobholder. Most workers (and many employers) don't know this misbehavior exception. You should ask the terminating manager for a recap of the layoff meeting and the events leading up to it.

The small company may want to add other information to the worker warning form.
